I presume the text of the question is:
'Adult tickets for a concert cost eight dollars each, student tickets cost five dollars each. A total of 55 tickets were sold worth $365. How many adult tickets and student tickets were sold?'
Let
a = the number of adult tickets sold, a>=0
s = the number of student tickets sold, s>=0
Total of 55 tickets were sold means:
a + s = 55
The cost of 55 tickets is $365:
8a + 5s = 365
We have the following system of equations:
a + s = 55
8a + 5s = 365
