    Answer: x = # of student tickets

    y = # of adult tickets

    x + y = 1294 >> y = 1294 - x

    5x + 8y = 8816

    5x + 8y = 8816

    5x + 8 (1294 - x) = 8816

    5x + 10,352 - 8x = 8816

    -3x + 10,352 = 8816

    -3x = - 1536

    x = 512 student tickets

    512 student tickets were purchased.
