Answer 1

your profile picture is my google picture!

Answer 2

SO first you need to put all your information into equations

Answer 3

but i dont know what numbers go where in the equations

Answer 4

lets call the number of tickets sold at the door X and the number of tickets sold in advanced Y okay?

Answer 5

okay that makes sense

Answer 6

Now lets make some equations. You were given that there were 206 more tickets sold at the door than in advanced so the equation should be x+206=y right?

Answer 7

okay sounds good

Answer 8

Then they also tell you that its $10 for a ticket at the door and $6 for a ticket in advanced and they made a total of $6828. Now to make that into an equation it would look like:
10x+6y=6828

Answer 9

ohhh ok

Answer 10

So now you must either do elimination or substitution or matrices

Answer 11

Do you know how to go from here or do you need more help?

Answer 12

no i got it now thank you so much

Answer 13

Welcome! :) Glad to have helped!
