A + s = 456........a = 456 - s
3.5a + s = 1131

3.5(456 - s) + s = 1131
1596 - 3.5s + s = 1131
-3.5s + s = 1131 - 1596
-2.5s = - 465
s = -465/-2.5
s = 186 <====== student tickets sold

a + s = 456
a + 186 = 456
a = 456 - 186
a = 270 <==== adult tickets sold

he equation of any horizontal line is

y = .. a number

In this case the line passes though the point (−8,9)

which tells us that the y-value we want is 9.

Therefore the equation is y=9
