The Arcadia Theater charges $4 for adult tickets and $3 for student tickets. Mr. Steele purchased 9 tickets (some student and some adult) for $31. Write a system of equations that could be used to find a, the number of adult tickets, and s, the number of student tickets Mr. Steele purchased. You do NOT have to solve the system of equations.

Question

Answer:

The correct answer will be: $31 = $4a + $3s (y = mx + b) meaning if Mr. Steele buys 4 adults tickets then he also bought 5 student tickets. $31 = 4(4) + 3(5) -- 31 = 16 + 15 -- 31 = 31
