The Bishop's Peak 4-H club is having its annual fundraising dinner. Adults pay $35 apiece and children pay $20 apiece. If the number of adult tickets sold is twice the number of children's tickets sold, and the total income for the dinner is $1,890, how many of each kind of ticket did the 4-H club sell?

to find the # of children's tickets, you just solve

35(2c) + 20c = 1890

then double that for the adults.
kids tickets ---- x
adult tix's ----- 2x

solve for x:

20x + 35(2x) = 1890
