Answer:
5.04
Step-by-step explanation:
Good news: they are all like terms
9x + 5x -3x -8x = 3x
0.33... (it goes on forever)
Ok so basically, the number of student tickets is 3x, where x=the number of adult tickets sold. And we know that s(for student tickets)+x=480 total tickets sold. So if we replace s with 3x we have 3x+x=480, or 4x=480. We divide by 4 and get x=120, which is the amount of adult tickets sold.
