I am so frazzled on this. If anyone could help me out, thank you! Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! orchestra=balcony+4
lodge=orchestra+3=balcony+4+3=balcony+7
4(b+7)+12b=508
4b+28+12b=508
16b=480
b=30
Balcony tickets are $30; orchestra tickets are $34; and lodge tickets are $37..
