I'm not sure you wrote it correctly because it already says how many tickets she sold = 210

How many of each ticket did she sell

set up three equations with three unknowns and solve... can you set any of the equations up?

anonymous · Answer

No, don't even know how to start

anonymous · Answer

well the first thing you need to do is define your variables... these are the things you are trying to solve for... there are three unknown things we are trying to find out so we let 
a = adult tickets
c = children tickets
s = senior tickets

anonymous · Answer

we do not know what the value of each of them are so that is why we set them up as variables.  you with me so far?
