a+c=1,000
2a+1c=$1850

Multiply top equation by 2 so you can get 2 numbers that cancel each other out
a+c=1,000 (2)

2a+2c=2,000
2a+1c=$1,850

2a-2a=0
cancel out 2a's by subtraction
and since you used subtraction, subtract the rest of the equation.

2c-1c=C
2,000-1850=150

C=150

*150 child tickets sold*

Same process, but for C (though is not necessary because the numbers already cancel out)

a+c=1,000
2a+c=$1850

c-c=0

Again, since you used subtraction, subtract again

1a-2a= -a
1,000-1850= -850

since both are negative, multiply by -1 to make them positive

a=850

*850 adult tickets sold*

850+150= 1,000
