A total of 369 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student tickets sold was two times the number of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold

Respuesta :

Do this by setting up a form of system of equations.

a + s = 369
2a = s

Let’s use substitution to find the number of adult tickets!

a + 2a = 369
3a = 369
a = 123

So, there were 123 adult tickets sold!
