Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4n+5)-n/20=1
cross multiply:(4n+5)-n=20
4n+5=20+n
4n-n=20-5
3n=15
Divide both sides by coefficient of n
n=5

shusha [124]

Let L represent lower level tickets and U upper level.

Starter equations:
L + U = 2368
78L + 59U = 157800

Solve simultaneous equations:
59L + 59U = 139712
so 19L = 18088
L = 952
U = 2368 - 952 = 1416

952 lower level tickets and 1416 upper level tickets were sold.
