System of linear equations can be used to solve many, but not all real world problems when you choose the problem for your journal entry did you know that this problem could be solved using a system of linear equations? What specific characteristics does your problem have that made it a good choice list at least three reasons why the problem you described in your journal prompt can be solved using a system of linear equations in 2-4 sentences

The problem I chose for my journal entry involves determining how many of each type of ticket was sold for a concert. This problem can be solved using a system of linear equations because it involves finding a combination of two unknown variables (number of general admission tickets and number of VIP tickets) that satisfy two given equations (total number of tickets sold and total revenue generated). Additionally, the problem assumes a linear relationship between the number of tickets sold and the revenue generated, making it appropriate for a linear equation approach. Lastly, the problem involves finding a solution that satisfies both equations simultaneously, which is a key characteristic of systems of linear equations.
