---------
Let # of adult tickets sold be "x"; value of these is 17x dollars
# of child tickets sold is "33-x"; value of these is 10(33-x)= 330-10x dollars
-------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 421 dollars
17x + 330-10x = 421
7x = 91
x = 13 (# of adult tickets sold)
33-x = 20 (# of child tickets sold)
