The drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the

show's expenses. Each student ticket sells for $5.50 and each adult
ticket sells for $9.50. There was a total of $703 in revenue from the
sale of 98 total tickets. Write a system of equations that could be used
to determine the number of student tickets sold and the number of
adult tickets sold. Define the variables that you use to write the system.
