• Number of children

• Number of tickets sold

• Number of adults

What is the total number of people admitted to the museum?

• 1590

• 168

• 321

• 150

How do you write the equation for the total number of people admitted?

• a + C = 1590

• a + C = 321

• 6a + 4C = 321

• 6a + 4C = 1590

What is the total amount of money collected from admissions?

• 1590 dollars

• 321 dollars

• 6 dollars

• 4 dollars

How do you write the equation for the total amount of money collected?

• a + C = 321

• 6a + 4C = 321

• a + C = 1590

Which method is used to solve the system of equations?

• Trial and Error

• Substitution

• Graphing

• Elimination

What is the expression for C after solving the first equation for C?

• C = 321 + a

• C = 321 - a

• C = 1590 - a

• C = 1590 + a

What is the value of 'a' after solving the system of equations?

• 168

• 321

• 153

• 1590

What is the final number of children admitted to the museum?
