You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of granite tickets
y = number of limestone tickets
---
x + y = 750
8x + 4.50y = 5300
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 750
8x + 4.50y = 5300
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
