A theater production charges $21 for adult tickets and $15 for student tickets. If the production sold 102 tickets for its opening night and made $1,932 in ticket sales, how many of each type of tickets were sold?

What is the second equation in our system?

hint : x+y=102 was your first equation

x-y=15

x + y = 21

1,932 - 102 = 21

21x+15y = 1,932
