    Using elimination method. Using substitution will cause some fraction problems.

    c - child tickets

    a - adult tickets

    4a + 7c = $83

    5a + 6c = $90

    multiply by - 5

    -20a - 35c = - $415

    20a + 24c = $360

    -11c = - $55

    c = $5 child tickets

    4a + 7 (5) = $83

    4a + 35 = $83

    4a = $48

    a = $12 adult tickets
