Tickets for a concert were sold to adults for $3 and to students for $2. If the total receipts were $824 and twice as many adult tickets as student tickets were
sold, then how many of each were sold?
--------------------------
Value Equation: 3(2x) + 2(x) = 824 where x is the number of students.
8x = 824
x = 103 (number of student tickets sold)
2x = 206 (number of adult tickets sold)
