The equation 24x-582 = 17y relates the amount of money made from the main floor and balcony tickets. Why is 5824 subtracted from 24x?

This question may be incomplete, so i will answer this in a really general way.

We have the equation:

17*y = 24*x - 582

Where this represents the amount of money made from the main floor and balcony tickets, where i suppose that 17*y represents the money and x is the number of tickets sold.

We are subtracting 582 from the right side, this may be related to the cost of the tickets.

Like in the profit equations:

Profit = revenue - cost

Then we can have:

profit = 17*y

revenue = 24*x

cost = 582
