Question 1110781: Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $45 . For one performance, 40 advance tickets and 20 same-day tickets were sold. The total amount paid for the tickets was $1300 . What was the price of each kind of ticket?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, price for advanced ticket
y, price for same-day ticket

The description means system%28x%2By=45%2Cand%2C40x%2B20y=1300%29
-
4x%2B2y=130
2x%2By=65

Now this system is easily solved using Elimination Method, if you choose:
system%28x%2By=45%2C2x%2By=65%29
