    X=number of senior tickets

    y=number of student tickets

    1st day

    7x+1y=101

    2nd day

    7x+12y=134

    easy, we can eliminate the x's

    multiply first equation by - 1

    -7x-1y=-101

    7x+12y=134 +

    0x+11y=33

    11y=33

    divide by 11 both sides

    y=3

    sub back

    7x+y=101

    7x+3=101

    minus 3 both sides

    7x=98

    divide both sides by 7

    x=14

    senior tickets cost $14

    student tickets cost $3

    that sounds unfair
