798 advance tickets and 1357 regular tickets were sold. Say x is the number of advance tickets and y is the number of regular tickets. So x + y = 2155 since 2155 is the number of tickets sold with x and y . We also know that 18x +34y = 60502 since x the advance tickets are $18 and y the regular tickets are $34 and the total proceeds are $60502. Alright now we can solve for either x or y. Let's solve for y. How do we do that? We get rid of x from the formula. So look at this. 18x = 60502 - 34y (just a modification of the second formula), x = 2155 - y (just a modification of the first formula) and then multiply that whole thing by 18 so 18x= 18(2155) - 18y which is 18x = 38790 - 18y. So we know 18x = 60502 - 34y and 18x = 38790 -18y so since 18x = 18x, 60502 - 34y = 38790 - 18y. Now we want the y all on the same side so let's add 34y to both sides and you get 60502 = 38790 + 16y. Then subtract 38790 from both sides and you get 60502 - 38790 = 16y which is 21712 = 16y which divided by 16 is 1357 = y. That's your number of regular tickets. Now then x + y = 2155 or x = 2155 - y so x = 2155 - 1357 = 798. So x is 798 and y is 1357. You can even plug it back into the problem and it works. 18x + 34y = 60502 which is 14364 + 46138 = 60502 and thankfully 14364 + 46138 does equal 60502.
