Question 1061166
I'm not sure how to properly set this problem up as a system of linear equations: 
Express the problem below as a system of linear equations and find the solution.  Admission for a school play was $10 for adults and $5 for children.  A total of 300 tickets were sold.  How many adult tickets were sold if $2500 was collected at the door?
<pre>Let number of adults' and children's tickets be A, and C, respectively
Then we get: 10A + 5C = 2,500_____5(2A + C) =  5(500)_____2A + C = 500 ------ eq (i)
Also, A + C  = 300 ------- eq (ii)
If you wish to go further, just SUBTRACT eq (ii) from eq (i), and solve for A to  get the number of adults' tickets sold.
It is that easy....nothing COMPLEX!!
