    So 5a=cost of adults

    3s=cost of students

    a+s=1142

    5a+3s=4326

    a+s=1142

    subtract s from both sdies

    a=1142-s

    subsitute 1142-s for a

    5 (1142-s) + 3s=4326

    5710-5s+3s=4326

    5710-2s=4326

    subtract 5710 from both swides

    -2s=4326-5710

    -2s=-1384

    dividee both sides by 2

    -s=-692

    multiply - 1

    s=692

    692 students

    subsittue

    a+692=1142

    subtract 692

    a=450

    s=692

    a=450
