Answer 2

Answer:

800 children’s ticket were sold and 400 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation: using elimination

variables-

amount of children’s ticket sold: C

amount of adult tickets sold: A

equations-

A+C=1200

5A+11C=10,800

solving-

(A+C=1200) -5 —> -5A-5C=-6000

5A+11C= 10,800

use elimination on those two equation and you get C=800, A=400.

to check you plug in the numbers into one of the equations, doesn’t matter which one.
