Answer:

31 adults, 62 children, and 86 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The seating capacity of the movie theatre = 179

  • c+s+a=179

Children's(c) Ticket = $5.00

Student's(s) Tickets = $7.00

Adult's(a) Tickets = $12.00

There are half as many adults as there are children.

  • a=c/2 \implies c=2a

The total ticket sales was $1284

  • 5c+7s+12a=1284

We then solve the three resulting equations simultaneously.

c+s+a=179

c=2a

5c+7s+12a=1284

We substitute c=2a into the first and third equation

2a+s+a=179 \implies s=179-3a\\5(2a)+7s+12a=1284 \implies 22a+7s=1284

Substitute s=179-3a into 22a+7s=1284

22a+7(179-3a)=1284\\22a+1253-21a=1284\\a=1284-1253\\a=31

Recall:

c=2a

c=2*31

c=62

Finally:

c+s+a=179

62+s+31=179

s=179-62-31

s=86.

Therefore:

31 adults, 62 children, and 86 students attended the movie theatre.

The top two answers are equivalent, while the bottom one is not. You would use distributive property in the parentheses. If both expressions are the same, they are equivalent
