I know that but what would the mathematical sentence look like.  The first one would be 3a+2c=950d but what would the other look like?

anonymous · Answer

Let x be the no. of Adults who bought the ticket
and y be no. of children who bought the ticket

So We Have x+y=total no. of people=total no. of tickets sold=350
and
3x+2y=950

Njoy
