Answer:

a = 50

c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult tickets

Let c = child tickets
Equations:

9a + 5c = 550 ————> (1)

a + c = 70 ————> (2)

Solve for a using second equation

a = 70 - c

Plug in for a using first equation

9(70 - c) + 5c = 550

Solve for c

c = 20

Plug in for c using second equation

a + 20 = 70

a = 50
