Answer: 210 advanced tickets were sold. 130 same day tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

x= advanced tickets y=same day tickets

2x+3y=810 this equation represents the money

x+y=340 this equation represents the total number of tickets

x+y=340

-x     -x

y=-340-x             2x+3(340-x)=810               210+y=340

                           2x+1020-3x=810               -210     -210      

                           -x+1020=810                       y=130

                               -1020  -1020

                                 -x=-210

                                 -1     -1

                                  x=210
