Question

Please help write a system of equations to represent the scenario

Answer 1

Equations:
x + y = 37
5x + 3y = 161

25 adult tickets
12 student tickets

—————-

Adult tickets are x
Student tickets are y
Equations are for number of tickets sold and price of tickets sold/money earned

x + y = 37
5x + 3y = 161

x = 37 - y

5(37 - y) + 3y = 161
185 - 5y + 3y = 161
- 2y = -24
y = 12

x = 37 - y
x = 37 - 12 = 25
