This is my answer↓:

Step-by-step explanation:

He school play sold $550 in tickets one night.

The number of $8 adult tickets was 10 less than twice the number of

$5 child tickets.

How many of each ticket were sold

Let say child ticket sold = x

Adult tickets was 10 less than twice the number of    child tickets.

=> Adult ticket sold = 2x - 10

Child ticket sold = x

$5 child tickets price

=> Revenue = 5x  $

Adult ticket sold = 2x - 10

$8 Adult tickets price

=> Revenue = 8(2x - 10) =16x - 80 $

5x + 16x - 80 = 550

=> 21x = 630

=> x = 30

Child ticket sold = 30

Adult ticket sold = 50

Total ticket sold = 80
