Answer:
2 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
we have two relations
[tex]a + c = 5[/tex]
[tex]9a + 4c = 30[/tex]
first rearrange the top equality for one of the variables
[tex]a = 5 - c[/tex]
now substitute into the second equation
[tex]9(5 - c) + 4c = 30[/tex]
perform the distribution and combine like terms
[tex]45 - 9c + 4c = 30[/tex]
[tex]45 - 5c = 30[/tex]
[tex] - 5c = - 15[/tex]
[tex]c = 3[/tex]
place this 3 into our first equation and solve for a
[tex]a + (3) = 5[/tex]
[tex]a = 2[/tex]
