Adult x tickets
students y tickets
Equation for tickets
1 x + 1 y = 25 .............1
Equation for amount spent
17.25 x + 10.50 y = 336.75 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -10.50
Multiply (2) by 1
-10.50 x -10.50 y = -262.50
17.25 10.50 y = 336.75
Add the two equations
6.75 x = 74.25
/ 6.75
x = 11.00
plug value of x in (1)
11.00 x + y = 25.00
11.00 + y = 25.00
y = 14.00
Adult 11 tickets
students 14 tickets
