There are 49 gallons of red paint.
I figured it out by doing the following:

If you subtract the gallons of pink paint (21) from the total number of gallons (70), then you get the number of gallons of red paint (49) because 49 + 21 = 70. I hope that helps :)
The value of a is 72.74.
<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>
Probability is the study of likeliness of an event to happen.
It is given that
The mean
of the distribution is 70
Standard deviation
is 2
p( x<a) = 0.9147
a = ?
From Z table
For p ( p < 0.9147) , z = 1.37


a = 70+ 2*1.37
a = 72.74
Therefore the value of a is 72.74.

For example a stands for the number of adult tickets, and s stands for the number of student tickets.
Write a system of equation based on the problem
An equation for "<span>A total of 679 tickets were sold for the school play"
</span>∴ a + s = 679 <em>(first equation)</em>
An equation for "<span>there were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets"
</span>∴ s = a - 71 <em>(second equation)</em>
<span>
Find the solution of the system
Subtitute s with a - 71 in the first equation to find the value of a
a + s = 679
a + a - 71 = 679
2a - 71 = 679
2a = 679 + 71
2a = 750
a = 750/2
a = 375
The number of adult tickets sold is 375</span>
thanks so much for the points
