65g + 55s = 6500 is the linear equation that can be used to model the situation
Given that,
Cost of 1 general admission = $ 65
Cost of 1 student admission = $ 55
Let "g" be the number of general admission tickets sold and "s" be the number of student admission tickets sold.
To find: linear equation used to model the situation
The standard form for linear equations in two variables is Ax + By = C
The concert ticket sales total $6,500
So we can frame a equation as:
number of general admission tickets sold x Cost of 1 general admission + number of student admission tickets sold x Cost of 1 student admission = $ 6500
[tex]g \times 65 + s \times 55 = 6500[/tex]
[tex]65g + 55s = 6500[/tex]
Thus the above linear equation can be used to model the situation
