    So baically

    reresent

    s=number of studne tickes bouthgt

    a=number of adult tickets bought

    400 tickest sold

    total=400

    a+s=400

    value=rate times number of peple

    student value=3s

    adults value=8a

    total value=1580

    3s+8a=1580

    a. system of equations area

    s+a=400

    3s+8a=1580

    b. solve

    s+a=400

    3s+8a=1580

    a+s=400

    multiply by - 3

    -3s-3a=-1200

    add to other eqaution

    3s+8a=1580

    -3s-3a=-1200 +

    0s+5a=380

    5a=380

    divide 5

    a=76

    subsiute

    s+a=400

    s+76=400

    subtract 76

    s=324

    a. s+a=400

    3s+8a=1580

    b. solution above

    324 students

    76 aduls
