Number of child tickets: x
Number of adult tickets: y

1) x+y=370
2) 3x+7y=1750

Using the method of substitution
a) Isolating y in the first equation:
1) x+y=370→x+y-x=370-x→y=370-x

b) Replacing y=370-x in the second equation:
2) 3x+7y=1750→3x+7(370-x)=1750

c) Solving for x: Distributive property:
3x+7(370)-7x=1750
3x+2590-7x=1750

Adding similar terms:
-4x+2590=1750

-4x+2590-2590=1750-2590
-4x=-840

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4:
-4x/(-4)=-840/(-4)
x=210

Replacing x=210 in the first equation:
1) y=370-x→y=370-210→y=160

Answer:
The number of child tickets was 210 and
the number of adult tickets was 160

Wilhelmina wrote a check for $72 to pay her monthly Internet bill, but when
lesantik [10]

Answer:

her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount of money in the bank before writing the check be x

after writing the check for $72, because she accidentally recorded this as a credit, here checkbook will reflect a balance of :$(x + 72)

However, the bank correctly records the debit of the $72, resulting  a balance of: $(x-72)

Hence compared to her checkbook,  the bank records will show an amount difference of :

(x-72) - (x + 72)

= x - 72 -x -72

= -144

i.e her bank statement will show that she has $144 less than her checkbook balance
