A + s = 456........a = 456 - s
3.5a + s = 1131
3.5(456 - s) + s = 1131
1596 - 3.5s + s = 1131
-3.5s + s = 1131 - 1596
-2.5s = - 465
s = -465/-2.5
s = 186 <====== student tickets sold
a + s = 456
a + 186 = 456
a = 456 - 186
a = 270 <==== adult tickets sold

I am so sorry for giving you the wrong answer at first.
Here's the processs
1x=-0.5555
Move the decimal point in the repeating decimal one space forward
10x=-5.55555
Then subtract
10x=5.5555
x=-0.5555= 9x=-5
Divide both sides by 9
9x=-5
9x/9=-5/9
-5/9 is your final answer!
Hope this helps!
