Answer:Set it up as two equations.  Start off by stating that x= the number of adult tickets, and y= the number of student tickets.

6x+4.5y=2175

x+y=430

State that y = 430-x, and substitute it into the second equation 6x +4.5(430-x)= 2175.

Solve for x.  Then plug in what you get for x into the x+y=430 equation and solve for y.  Your number of adult tickets should equal 160, and your number of child tickets should equal 270.
