Answer:
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = price of balcony tickets
y = price of orchestra tickets
y = 3x (1)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (2)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
148(3x) + 76x = 3,640
444x + 76x = 3,640
520x = 3,640
x = 3,640/520
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into (1)
y = 3x (1)
y = 3(7)
y = 21
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
