S = A + 12
6A + 4S = 548
Substitute A+12 for S in the second equation and solve for A. Insert that value into the first equation to solve for S. Check by putting both values into the second equation.
There was a total of $548 collected for tickets to the school play. The adult tickets cost $6, and
the student tickets cost $4. If 12 more student tickets were sold than adult tickets, find the
numbers of adult and student tickets sold.

A=50
S=62
S=62
S Tickets= $4 each
A Tickets = $6 each
S Tickets = 12 more than A
6+4= 10 and then divided by 548 is 54 remainder 8. If you add the remainder its 62 and subtract twelve its fifty. Add them together! Not sure if it helps
