Cost for students =$2
Cost for adults=$5
Total amount of money=$619
Let the number of students =x
Let the number of adults=y
x=10y-3.
-x+10y=3. ........eqn. 1
2x+5y=619. x1
-x+10y=3. x2
——————-
2x+5y=619
-2x+20y=6
——————-
25y=625
y=25. eqn.2
From eqn. 1 and eqn.2
-x+10y=3
-x+259=3
x=259-3
=256
Number of students =
2x=512
Number of adults=
5y=125
Well, this took a lot of time so hopefully it is right lol
