Answer: 350 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
(omg I remember this question!)
- a stands for the number of adult tickets sold
student tickets : a + 65
the equation for the prob:
765 = a + (a + 65)
solve:
combine 'like terms'
1.) 765 = a + a + 65
2.) 765 = 2a + 65
- 65 - 65
700= 2a
divide by 2
700/2 = 2a/2
(700/2 = 350)
(the "2" in 2a is cancelled out by the other 2)
350 = a
