Question

bahrom7893 · Answer

Let's make a system of equations:
s - senior, c - children, a - adults

bahrom7893 · Answer

Adult tickets are twice as much as senior tickets.
a = 2*s
Two senior tickets plus one children’s ticket cost $17
2*s + c = 17
Two children tickets plus one adult ticket cost $24.
2*c + a = 24

So:
a = 2s
2s + c = 17
2c + a = 24

You're looking for a+s, so find a and s.
