We effectively rewrite the equation as
In order for the LHS to be defined, we need to restrict , or
. Now, the LHS will vanish when the numerator is 0, which happens for
This value is indeed smaller than 4, so the solution is .
The two equations are
and
the first equation can be solved for x to be
next you can substitute x in the second equation
Distribute 4 to everything in the parentheses
combine like terms:
subtract 28 from both sides of the equation
divide both sides by -1.5
plug this in to the original equation of x+y=7
subtract 4 from both sides.
Final Answer: they bought 3 adult tickets and 4 student tickets
