Answer: 103 adult tickets

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Adult tickets (a) = a

Student tickets (s) = 2a

Total = 309

a + 2a = 309

3a = 309

a = 103

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total tickets sold = 309

Let the number of adult tickets sold be x

Let the number of student tickets sold be 2x

Adult tickets + student tickets = 309

$x + 2x = 309$

Collect like terms

$3x = 309$

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{309}{3}$

Calculate

$x = 103$

Hence, 103 adult tickets were sold.

Hope this helps..
