really struggling with this problem

admission to a baseball game is $2.00 for general admission and $5.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3408.00 for 1025 paid admissions. How many of each ticket were sold?

1 answer

Let G = gen. adm. and R = reserved seats

G + R = 1025
R = 1025 - G

2G + 5.5R = 3408

Substitute 1025 - G for R in the second equation to solve for G. Put that value in the first equation to find R. To check, put both values in the second equation.
