I saw this question like this and the farthest I got was 5a+2c=2495

Children Tickets Sold = x
Adult tickets sold = 925-x
Total Amount collected = 2495
(Price of Adult ticket)(Adult tickets sold)+(Price of a child ticket)(Children tickets sold) = Total Amount collected
(5)(x)+(2)(925-x)=2495
5x+1850-2x=2495
5x-2x=2495-1850
3x=645
3x/3=645/3
x=215
Children Tickets Sold = x = 215
Adult tickets sold = 925-x = 710

**
let x=no. of adult tickets sold
925-x=no. of children tickets sold
..
5x+2(925-x)=2495
5x+1850-2x=2495
3x=2495-1850=645
3x=645
x=215
925-x=710
..
no. of adult tickets sold=215
no. of children tickets sold=710
..
you could have continued with your solution by noting that:
a+c=925
c=925-a
