    What is simultaneous equations?
    Simultaneous equations are two or more equations that are related and are solved together, in essence, the solutions to unknowns in one equation are related to the unknowns in other equations.
    In this case, we can assume that the number of adults is A, whereas the number children is C, in essence, the total number of attendees are determined thus:
    A+C=5300…………(equation 1)
    The total revenue earned is determined thus:
    $5.50A+$3.50C=$22,906………..(equation 2)
    From equation 1, we can solve for C in terms of A
    C=5300-A
    substitute for C in equation 2
    $5.50A+$3.50(5300-A)=$22,906
    $5.50A+$13,250-$3.50A=$22,906
    $2.00A+$13,250=$22,906
    $2.00A=$22,906-$13,250
    $2.00A=$9656
    A=$9656/$2.00
    A=4828 adult patrons
