She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of tickets purchased = 73
Cost of tickets = $771
Cost of one child ticket = $9
Cost of one adult ticket = $15
Let,
Child ticket = x
Adult ticket = y
According to given statement;
x+y=73 Eqn 1
9x+15y=771 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 9;

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

Dividing both sides by 6;

Putting y=19 in Eqn 1

She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.

-5y + 8 = -3y + 10
We need to get y on one side.
Add 3y to both sides.
-2y + 8 = 10
We need to get 2y by itself.
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-2y = 2
Divide both sides by -2 to solve for y.
y = -1

The (small) challenge here is to determine what the LCD is. Since 11, 17 and 3 are all prime, we find the LCD by multiplying them together: 561.
Then 9/11= 459/561; 15/17 = 495/561; and 2/3 = 375/561.
