Do it like this one:

A movie theatre is presenting a stage production of the feature "Hoodwinked". At the opening, 70 tickets were sold and ticket sales totaled $568. If adult tickets cost $10 and children's tickets cost $7, how many of each type of ticket were sold?
--------------------
The question doesn't ask for a formula, it asks how many tix were sold.
---------------
a + c = 70 (# of tix)
10a + 7c = 568 (cost of tix)
