T = student tickets
N = non-student tickets
4T + 6N = 2600
T = 5N
Substitute T = 5N into the above equation.
4(5N) + 6N = 2600
20N + 6N = 2600
26N = 2600
N = 100
T = 500

Let n represent the non-student tickets sold.
Then: 6n + 4(5n) = 2600
6n + 20n = 2600
26n = 2600
n = 100
100 non-student = $600
500 student tickets = $2000
Proof Total = $2600

here
4(5x) + 6(x) = 2600
26x= 2600
x=100
so 500 students and 100 non-students went to the concert
