Hi,         

Let x and (340-x) represent the number of student and adult tickets respectively

Question States***

  $3.50x  + $5(340-x) = $1310

  $3.50x  + $5*340- 5x = $1310

     $1700 - $1310 = $1.50x

             $390 = $1.50x

           $390/$1.50 = x

              x =260, number of student tickets.  (adult tickets = 80)
