@Agl202  @rebeccaxhawaii  I gotta go ..... so if u can

rishavraj · Answer

see I am done....
so 
let the no of adult tickets sold be = x
and u see 70 tickets fewer were sold (student tickets)
so no of student tickets sold = x - 70 
and also total no of tickets sold  = 430

@mathmath333 Can u help me pls?

mathmath333 · Answer

let the adult tickeys be a, let the students ticket be s

given 

a+s=430------1.)

and

s=a-70

so s-a=70-------2.)

solve equation 1.) and 2.)

i think u havent studied addinng and substracting variables

mathmath333 · Answer

a+s+s-a=430+70

2s=500

mathmath333 · Answer

s=250

s-a=70

250-a=70

a=250-70=180

$\Large a=180$
