Answer:
First number=22
Second number=28
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you don't know either of the numbers we can call the first number x. The second number is the first number plus 6 or x+6. The sum is 22 more than the larger number so x+6+22 or x+28. Using this we can create the equation x+x+6=x+28. In order to isolate x we would subract x from both sides ending up with x+6=28. Then subract 6 from both sides to get x=22. This means the first number equals 22. Then to solve for the second number you plug 22 in for x to get the equation 22+6= the second number, so the second number is equal to 28. Look below for just the equation.
x+x+6=x+6+22
2x+6=x+28
-x -x
x+6=28
-6. -6
x=22
22+6
=28
22+28= 28+22

There are three unknowns in this problem. First, let's assign variables for these unknowns.
Let
x be the amount received by the first friend
y be the amount received by the second friend
z be the amount received by the third friend
Next, we formulate equations for the relationships
x = 4z
z = 4y
x + y + z = <span>$231,000
Solving simultaneously,
4(4y) + y + 4y = </span><span>$231,000
21y = </span><span>$231,000
y = $11,000
z = 4($11,000) = $44,000
x = 4($44,000) = $176,000</span>
<u>Define x:</u>
Let the number of children tickets be x.
Children tickets = x
Adult tickets = 2x
<u>Construct the equation:</u>
4x + 7(2x) = 108
4x + 14x = 109
18x = 108
x = 6
x = 6
2x = 12
Answer: 6 children tickets and 12 adult tickets.
