let x = student admission, and y= adult admission
First sentence tells us that the total number of tickets is 1435 so..
x+y=1435 -> equation 1

The next part tells us the price of each ticket and the total amount of money made so..

1.50*x+5*y=3552.50 -> Equation 2

Can you solve it from here?
