8. The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were
$1740, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

... please solve this using systems of equations

Number of students tickets sold = x = 380 tickets

Number of adults tickets sold = y = 150 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of students tickets sold = x

Number of adults tickets sold = y

x + y = 530 (1)

3x + 4y = 1740 (2)

From (1)

x = 530 - y

Substitute x = 530 - y into (2)

3x + 4y = 1740

3(530 - y) + 4y = 1740

1590 - 3y + 4y = 1740

- 3y + 4y = 1740 - 1590

y = 150

Substitute y = 150 into (1)

x + y = 530

x + 150 = 530

x = 530 - 150

x = 380

Number of students tickets sold = x = 380 tickets

Number of adults tickets sold = y = 150 tickets

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
