<u>x, </u><u>=</u><u>student tickets</u>
<u>y, </u><u>=</u><u>adult tickets</u>
-----
<h3>=> x + y = 360 --------(1)</h3><h3> x = 2y. ----------(2)</h3>
<u>exact translation of the description into a system of equations. Solve for the value of y.</u>
<u>The process can be, solve for x in terms of y, already seen as THE second equation of the system; substitute into the other equation, and solve the result for y, and compute.</u>
<h3>=> {2y} + y = 360</h3><h3>=> 2y + y = 360</h3><h3>=> 3y = 360</h3><h3>=> (3y)/3 = +360)/4</h3><h3>=> y = 120 ----------adult tickets sold.</h3><h3 />
<u>Substitute y = 120 into equation 2 </u>
<h3>=> x = 2y</h3><h3>=> x = 2(120)</h3><h3>=> x = 240 (children tickets sold)</h3>
