Answer:

127 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 9y = 4983

x = 240, so substitute that in.

16(240) + 9y = 4983

3840 + 9y = 4983, substract 3840 from both sides

9y = 1143, then divide both sides by 9

y = 127 student tickets

Answer: 16x + 9y = 4983

240 general admission tickets and 127 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation: If you already know that there are 240 general admission tickets and general admission tickets cost 16 dollars the multiply 16 times 240 to get 3840

then subtract 4983 - 3840 to get 1143 which is the money earned on students so now divide 1143 by 9 to get 127

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it did
