Answer:

350 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold.

Since there were 60 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets, the number of student tickets sold can be represented by x - 60

Create an equation that sets up these terms equal to 640, then solve for x:

(x) + (x - 60) = 640

2x - 60 = 640

2x = 700

x = 350

So, 350 adult tickets were sold
