What is a Function?

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

Let the maximum amount of students able to receive tickets be  represented by x. Josh is selling tickets for his school's performance. Each student receives 4 tickets for their family and 560 people are already coming. And the auditorium seats a maximum of 1275 people. Therefore, we can write,

1275 = 4x + 560

1275 - 560 = 4x

4x = 715

x = 178.75

Since the number should be a whole number therefore, the maximum amount of students able to receive tickets is 178.
