------------------------------------------ Define adult and student tickets ------------------------------------------ Let the number of adult tickets be x Adult tickets = x Student tickets = x + 69
------------------------------------------ Form equation and solve for x ------------------------------------------ x + x + 69 = 569 2x + 69 = 569 ← Combine like terms 2x = 569 - 69 ← Subtract 69 from both sides 2x = 500 x = 250 ← Divide by 2 to find x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find the number of adult tickets and student tickets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adult tickets = x = 250 Student tickets = x + 69 = 319
