members went for a total cost of 34.50 how many adult tickets were sold, and how many children tickets were sold? I know the answer, but do not know how to show it in a formula.

Call the numbers of adult and children's tickets, a and c. Then we write
a + c = 6 and the value equation is
7.75a + 4.75c = 34.50
You just combine these by elimination (or substitution) and arrive at your answer.
