**Problem Description:**Concert tickets cost $15 for general admission, but only $9 with a student ID. Ticket sales total $4500. Write an equation that models this situation.**Question:**If 150 general admission tickets were purchased, then how many tickets were purchased with a student ID?**Explanation:**To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation that represents the total sales. Let $ x $ represent the number of general admission tickets sold and $ y $ represent the number of student ID tickets sold.The equation based on ticket costs is:\[ 15x + 9y = 4500 \]We are given that 150 general admission tickets were purchased:\[ x = 150 \]Substitute $ x $ with 150 in the equation:\[ 15(150) + 9y = 4500 \]Solve for $ y $ to find out how many student ID tickets were purchased.
