We can solve this by using systems of equations.

Let's find our first formula, how much money was made using the tickets.

5.20x + 9y = 1027.80

Here x is how many child tickets we sold and y is how many adult tickets we sold. Now that we have defined that, we can make another formula for the total tickets sold!

x + y = 156 since we sold 156 tickets that could be any combination of child and adult tickets.

Let's solve this system. I'm going to use <em>substitution</em> so I'm going to take our second formula and subtract both sides by x to get y = 156 - x.

Now I will plug this in the first equation for y to get You plug it in for y to get 5.20x + 9 (156-x) = 1027.8.

From this you can solve for x to get x = 99.

Since x + y = 156

99 + y = 156

y = 57

There were 99 child tickets and 57 adult tickets.

Formally, the behavior is described like so: as x approaches infinity, f(x) decreases
