SOLUTION: "A total of 2500 tickets to a football game were sold. Prices were $2 for children, $3 for students, and $5 for adults. Twice as many tickets were sold to students as to children,

Question 1069962: "A total of 2500 tickets to a football game were sold. Prices were $2 for children, $3 for students, and $5 for adults. Twice as many tickets were sold to students as to children, and ticket revenues were 7250. Use a system of linear equations to determine how many of each type of ticket were sold."

my 3 equations I got were:
2x+3y+5z=7250
x=2y
x+y+z=2500
And when i tried to solve it didn't add up right i also tried another way but i got a negative for one answer and that didn't seem right at all.

"Students(y) = 2 * Children(x)" but you have x=2y.
Fix it and try that.
