Hi

movie was was attended by 212 people

Let xand (212-x) represent the number of adult and children's tickets respectively

Question states***

 8x + 4(212-x) = 1448

Solving for x

     4x = 600

      x = 150, number of adult tickets. 62 children's tickets. (212-150)  

     

CHECKING our Answer***

    $8*150 + $4*62 =  $1200 + $248 = $1448
