The lower section has 210 seats, and the upper section has 406 seats

The lower seats are represented with x, while the upper seats are represented with y

So, the equation that represents the total revenue is:

[tex]5x + 4y = 2674[/tex]

And the equation that represents the total number of tickets sold is

[tex]\frac 17x + \frac 47y =262[/tex]

Next, we plot the graphs of both equations (see attachment)

From the graph, the lines intersect at (x,y) = (210, 406)

Hence, the lower section has 210 seats, and the upper section has 406 seats
