if 425 tickets were sold all together either were adilts and student tickets. the number of student tickets were sold three times the number of adult tickets sold how many adult tickets were sold
-------
Equation:
a + s = 425 tickets
s = 3a
---------------
Substitute for "s" and solve for "a":
3a + a = 425
4a = 425
a = 106 when rounded down (# of adult tickets sold)
