We have two formulas:
Adult tickets plus Student tickets = 550 tickets   or   A + S = 550
   and
Adult tickets times $20 plus Student ticket times $10 = $7500  or
(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500

First let's get rid of one of the variables by re-balancing the simplest formula
A+S = 550
A+S-A = 550-A
S = 550-A

Now we can restate the second formula replacing "S"  with it's equivalent "550-A"

(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500
(A * 20) + ((550-A) *10) = 7500
Then do the multiplication
20A + 5500 - 10A = 7500
and simplifiy
20A + 5500 - 5500 - 10A = 7500 - 5500
20A - 10A = 2000
10A = 2000
A =  200   
S =  550 - 200 = 350

Now we should test the answers to be sure our work
 is correct:
  200 Adult tickets times $20 = $4000
  350 Student tickets times $10 = $3500
  $4000 + $3500 = 7500

WORTH 10 POINTS! 1)susan can type 4 pages of text in 10 minutes.Assuming she types at a constant rate,write the linear equation
Leno4ka [110]
1) pages per minute is the rate. the rate is the slope pages/minutes = .4
y=.4x or y=2/5(x)
2)birdhouses per day is the slope. = .6
y=.6x or y=3/5(x)
3) miles per hour is the slope. 500/8=62.5
y=62.5x
4) square feet per minute is the slope. 40/9 =4.444444444
y=4.4444444444x or y=40/9(x)
5)miles per minutes is the rate. 5/41 is the slope. 
y=5/41(x)
6) the rate is square feet per minute. 450/30=15
y=15x
