Write a system of equations that could you answer the following question (you do not have to solve!)
The tickets for a dance recital cost $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for children. If the total number of tickets sold was 295 and the total amount collected was $1,200, how many adult tickets were sold?
let a = number of adult tickets sold
let c = number of child tickets sold
a + c = 295
5a + 2c = 1200
