A school purchased tickets to a show. Tickets for children cost 8 dollars and tickets for adults cost 14 dollars. The school paid 610 dollars for the tickets, and it bought five times as many tickets for children as it did for adults. How many of the tickets were for adults?

polynomial function y(x) = x1 - x2 + 1 or y(x) = x3+x-4 ??
if there were x adult tickets, them
14x + 8*5x = 610
x = 610/54
I suspect a typo

As for the 2nd question, I have no idea what it's about. If x2 means x^2, and so on, then I guess both of those are polynomial functions.
X adult tickets.
5x children tickets.
14*x+8*5x = 610
14x+40x = 610
X =
