Let 'x' be the number of adult tickets sold. "The number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets sold." Therefore, the number of student tickets sold = 3*x = 3x Total tickets sold = x + 3x = 4x = 340 Solve for x.

can you help me solve for x pls

OpenStudy (aum):

4x = 340 To solve for x, isolate x. Divide both sides by 4. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A= 85 ?

OpenStudy (aum):

x = 85. And we assumed that 'x' represents the number of adult tickets sold. And the question is: How many adult tickets were sold? Answer: 85
