Answer:

410 student and 436 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of student tickets and y is the number of adult tickets sold. we now that a total of 846 tickets were sold so x+y=846=>x=846-y. we also now that their worth was 3 846usd so 3*x+6*y=3846. we substitute x and are left with the following equation:3x+6*(846-x)=3846

5076-3x=3846

3x=1230

x=410

=>y=846-410=436
