A total of 754 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 54 more tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer: 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

a = adult tickets

s = student tickets

║ a + s = 754

║s = a + 54

Plug s = a + 54 into a + s = 754

a + (a + 54) = 754

a + a + 54 = 754

2a + 54 = 754

2a = 754 - 54

2a = 700

a = 350
