Ash sold 325 tickets to a football playoff game. Adult tickets were $5 each and student tickets were $2 each. If ASB made $995, how many of each ticket were sold?

I believe It’s one of those x+y=325 and 5x+2y=$995. However it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these and I don’t know how to solve it
Yes, your equations are correct:
x+y=325
5x+2y=$995
One way you can continue is you can solve for y in the first equation:
x+y=325
y = 325 - x
Then, you can substitute y in the second equation:
5x+2y=$995
5x+2(325 - x)=$995
Can you take it from here?
x+y=325
5x+2y=$995
