30 points asap needed very much: the drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses. they sell adult tickets and also discounted student tickets. on friday night 56 student tickets and 37 adult tickets were sold for a total income of $882.50. on saturday night 57 student tickets and 38 adult tickets were sold for a total income of $902.50. write a system of equations that could be used to determine the price of each student ticket and the price of each adult ticket. define the variables that you use to write the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing this situation is linear (straight line graph) with slope and y-intercept.  Let a and s represent the unit price of adult tickets sold and the unit price of student tickets sold.  

Using these variables and the info given in the problem statement, we can write a system of linear equations that can be solved for a and s:

Friday:  56s + 37a = $882.50

Sat.:       57s + 38a + $902.50

This is the answer.  You were not asked to find the values of a and s.

Once again, a represents the number of adult tickets sold and

                     s represents the number of student tickets sold.

answer: -8.2562234e+13
