SOLUTION: It costs 'a' dollars for an adult ticket to a reggae concert and 's' dollars for a student ticket. The difference between the cost of 12 adult tickets and 18 student tickets is $36

Question 32116: It costs 'a' dollars for an adult ticket to a reggae concert and 's' dollars for a student ticket. The difference between the cost of 12 adult tickets and 18 student tickets is $36. Write an equation that represents the relationship between 'a' and 's'.
I've tried arranging this on my own, an I'm not sure if this is right :
(12(a)-18(s))= 36
but instead of the = sign, insert a 'less than or equal to' sign.
Is this correct?

You are correct.
Keep the equal sign.
