Answer:

The number of adults tickets sold equals 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to establish the system of equations:

x= number of adults tickets sold

y= number of kids tickets sold

10x + 6y= 928

x + y=120

Now, we isolate x in one equation and change it in the other to obtain its value:

x= 120 - y

10(120 - y) + 6y = 928

1,200 - 10y + 6y = 928

272 = 4y

68 = y

x= 120 - 68= 52
