    5x + 2y = 3280

    x+y = 785

    x = 785 - y

    5 * (785 - y) + 2y = 3280

    3925 - 5y + 2y = 3280

    3925 - 3280 - 3y = 0

    645 = 3y

    y=645/3=215

    x=785-215 = 570

    Adults - 570 tickets, childs - 215 tickets.

    570*5 + 215*2 = 3280

    570 adult and 215 child and 3,280 in total

    if i could get brainliest that would be great
