Hi,

Let x represent number of general admission tickets

  7x + 4(213-x) = 1146

7x + 852 - 4x = 1146

       3x = 1146 - 852

        3x = 294

         x = 98, number of general admission tickets.  115 Student tickets  213-98

CHECKING our answer***

 $7*98 + $4* 115 = $686 + $460 = $1146

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
