Using a system of equations, it is found that 225 adult tickets were sold for the school play.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

A total of 376 tickets were sold for the school play, hence:

x + y = 376 -> y = 376 - x.

There were 74 fewer students tickets sold than adult tickets, hence:

y = x - 74.

Then:

x - 74 = 376 - x

2x = 450

x = 450/2

x = 225.
