Question

Can you interpret "The number of front section seats is twice the number of back section seats" algebrically?

zepp · Answer

It should be: Fsec = Bsec x 2
And can you put $30,000, front section tickets ($75) and back section tickets ($50) in one equation?

What is it?

zepp · Answer

You should get 
Fsec * $75 + Bsec * $50 = $30,000
And the other equation:
Fsec = Bsec *2

And with substitution, you can find the # of Back section tickets and the number of front section tickets come along.
