Let's set variables to the different tickets:
S is senior tickets, and A is adults.

If there were 414 tickets sold, then
414 = A + S

If the total amount sold was $6173 and adults tickets were $20 and senior tickets were $13, then
6173 = 20A + 13S

We can then put these two equations into a system of equations:
414 = a +s\\ 6173 = 20a + 13s
We can single out one of the variables in the simpler equation to solve for the other:
414 = a + s \\ 414 - s = a
Now that we have A, we can plug it into the other equation:
6173 = 20a + 13s\\ 6173 = 20(414 - s) + 13s \\ 6173 = 8280 - 20s + 13s\\  - 2107 =  - 7s \\ 301 = s
We plug in 414 - S for A, then we factor in the 20. Then we subtract 8280 from both sides and combine the two Ss. Then we divide both sides by -7.

The theatre sold 301 senior tickets and 113 adult tickets.

If you're asking for extrema, like the previous posting

well

\bf f(x)=\cfrac{-x}{x^2+5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{(x^2+5)+2x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{5+3x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
using\ the\\
quotient\ rule
\end{array}

like the previous posting, since this rational is identical, just that the denominator is negative, the denominator yields no critical points

and the numerator, yields no critical points either, so the only check you can do is for the endpoints, of 0 and 4

f(0) = 0        <---- only maximum, and thus absolute maximum

f(4) ≈ - 0.19  <----  only minimum, and thus absolute minimum

Solve S = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac for b
fgiga [73]
 <span>A = 2ab + 2ac + 2bc 
A = 2b(a + c) + 2ac 
2b(a + c) = A - 2ac 
b = (A - 2ac) / [2(a + c)]</span>
