The income from a student production was $23,000. The price of a student ticket was $3, and nonstudent tickets were sold at $7 each. Five thousand tickets were sold. How many tickets of each kind were sold?
Work so far:
x = Student tickets
y = non student tickets
x + y = 23000
x = $3
y = $7
3x + 7y = 23000
Thank you.

Nope. x+y represents the total number of tickets sold. That is not 23000.
so..
3x + 7y = 50..?
3x + 7y = 50..?
No, 3x+7y = 2300 represents the total money collected. That equation is correct.
How many tickets were sold?
How many tickets were sold?
5,000 tickets were sold.
so, x+y=5000
So my two equations are..
x + y = 5000
3x +7y = 2300
Yes?
x + y = 5000
3x +7y = 2300
Yes?
almost
x + y = 5000
3x +7y = 23000
x + y = 5000
3x +7y = 23000
Thank you very much!
