Set up two equations
a = adults
c = children
70a + 40c = 27750
a + c = 450
Solve by substitution or elimination
Substitution:
70a + 40c = 27750
a = 450 - c
Elimination:
70a + 40c = 27750
-70(a + c) = -70(450)
a = adults
c = children
70a + 40c = 27750
a + c = 450
Solve by substitution or elimination
Substitution:
70a + 40c = 27750
a = 450 - c
Elimination:
70a + 40c = 27750
-70(a + c) = -70(450)
