The number of children and adults who bought the tickets at the circus was 500 and 900 respectively.

How to write and solve equation?

let

  • x = number of children
  • y = number of adults

x + y = 1400

22x + 46y = 52,400

From equation (1)

x = 1400 - y

Substitute into (2)

22(1400 - y) + 46y = 52,400

30,800 - 22y + 46y = 52,400

- 22y + 46y = 52,400 - 30,800

24y = 21,600

y = 21,600 / 24

y = 900

substitute y into

x + y = 1400

x + 900 = 1400

x = 1400 - 900

x = 500
