You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = adult tickets sold
y = child tickets sold
---
x + y = 150
7.50x + 4.75y = 891.25
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 150
7.50x + 4.75y = 891.25
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
