a = adult tickets s = student tickets a + s = 312 -- (there were a total of 312 tickets sold) s = 3a -- (student tickets sold was 3 times adult tickets) these are the equations we will use, and since we are looking for adult tickets, lets change the first equation to : s = 312 - a now we sub 312 - a in for s in the 2nd equation. s = 3a 312 - a = 3a --- add a to both sides 312 = 3a + a 312 = 4a -- divide by 4 78 = a so there were 78 adult tickets sold
