    The two equations would be

    32a+50b=14600

    10a+40b=7000

    To solve, we need to eliminate one variable ... let's eliminate b

    4 (32a+50b=14600) - > 128a+200b=58400

    -5 (10a+40b=7000) - > - 50a-200b=-35000

    So when we add them together' we get 78a = 23400

    So solve that and a = 300, so class a tickets cost 300 euros each

    Substitute a=300 into first equation in the system of equations at the beginning and 32 (300) + 50b=14600 - > 9600+50b=14600 - > 50b = 5000 or b = 100, so the cost for class b tickets is 100 euros each
