Answer:
The number of children's tickets bought was 300 and the number of adult tickets bought was 700
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of children's tickets bought
y ----> the number of adult tickets bought
we know that

-----> equation A
-----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for x




<em>Find the value of x</em>
therefore
The number of children's tickets bought was 300 and the number of adult tickets bought was 700
<span>2(3 - x) = -16
3 - x = -16/2
3 - x = -8
-x = -8 - 3
-x = - 11
x = 11</span>
Your answer would be A =7
