the drama club is selling tickets for the spring musical each student ticket is $5 each adult ticket is $8 total of $222 tickets were sold the total ticket sells for $1,626 which system of equation can be used to represent the situation

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

I don’t really know which system of equation to use, but I did the work. I also think there is supposed to be an attached picture but it’s fine

——————————————————————————————————————

Let x be students

Let y be adults

x + y = 222

5x + 8y = 1,626. <— let’s use the elimination/addition method to Solve this. Also, let’s eliminate y.

8 (x + y = 222)

-1 (5x + 8y = 1,626)

8x + 8y = 1,776

+ -5x - 8y = -1,626 <— add both of them

——————————————

3x = 150 <— divide 150 by 3

x = 5
