EXPLANATION:
STEPS:
1.First we have to find the partial distances in the two equations given and then find the total, but to do so we must find the value of x, then replace it in each of the equations and finally the sum will give us the total of all the magnitudes.

Answer:
There were 423 adult tickets sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of adult tickets sold
Let x + 65 = the number of student tickets sold
x + x + 65 = 715
2x = 715
x = 357.5
x + 65 = 422.5 (round up)
24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
