Sagot :

As tickets are selling for a high school play. student tickets cost $4 and general admission tickets cost $6 and sell 31 tickets and collect $170.

Therefore, the system of equation is

8$4 + 23$6 = $32 + $138 = $170 total

A system of equations is a set of one or more equations with many variables. A solution to a system of equations is a variable map such that all component equations are satisfied. That is, the point where all those equations intersect.

Given that :

Ticket cost = $ 4 and $6

and collection = $170.

Now,

        4S+6G = 170                ------------------------ (1)

            S+G = 31                  -----------------------  (2)

Therefore,  subtract from 1st equation to eliminate one variable:

4S+ 4G = 124    ----------------------------- (3)

Now,

  2G = 46

⇒ G = 23 tickets

putting G = 23 in equation(2)

S = 31-23

  = 8 student tickets

The system of equation is:

8$4 + 23$6 = $32 + $138

                    = $170 total
