Total tix sold =   12 + 4 + 6 + 14 = 36

 

 

12 A + 4 C    = $ 84

 6 A   + 14 C = $ 78      multiply THIS equation by -2

-12 A  - 28 C = - 156    and add to the first equation

         - 24 C =  -72

                 C = 3               Now you should be able to find A ...the price of Adult tix.....(sub the value of A into oneof the eqautions)
