Singer a and singer b had the two top-grossing concert tours for a certain year, together generating $394 million in ticket sales. if singer b took in $26 million less than singer a, how much did each tour generate?
singer a generated $
million in ticket sales and singer b generated $
million.

Singer A generated $  210 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated $  184  million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of millions of dollars generated by Singer A

y = number of millions of dollars generated by Singer B

Together, they generated $394 million

x + y = 394

Singer B took in $26 million less than Singer A

y = x - 26

We got a system of equations with two unknowns

x + y = 394

x  - y = 26

We add them together

2x = 420

x = 210

y = (210) - 26 = 184

This means that

Singer A generated $  210 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated $ 184  million
