Answer:

323 adult tickets

717 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by graphing.

     First we will make our equations, and then the point of intersection is the solution.

Let x be adult tickets and y be student tickets.

     For the equations, we will make one to represent money / cost and one to represent tickets sold.

     Money

5x + 1y = 2,332

5x + y = 2,332

     Number of tickets

x + y = 1,040

See attached for intersection point

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

How to determine the number of tickets

Let x represent the adult ticket, while y represent the student tickets.

So, we have:

x + y = 1040

5x + y = 2332

Subtract both equations

5x - x + y - y = 2332 - 1040

Evaluate

4x = 1292

Divide both sides by 4

x = 323

Make y the subject in x + y = 1040

y = 1040 - x

This gives

y = 1040 - 323

y = 717

Hence, the basketball game sold 323 adult tickets and 717 student tickets.
