Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let x to represent the number of matinee shows Alejandro went to.

Let y to represent the number of evening shows Alejandro went to.

Now, let's write our system of equations:

x + y = 12

7x + 12y = 104

*********************

x = 12 - y

*********************

7 (12 - y) + 12y = 104

84 - 7y + 12y = 104

5y = 104 - 84

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = 4 ⇒ x = 12 - 4 = 8

Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.
