You can put this solution on YOUR website! S=2A
S+A=303
2A+A=303
3A=30
A=303/3
A=101 ANS. FOR THE NUMBER OF ADULT TICKETS SOLD.
S=2*101
S=202 ANS. FOR THE NUMBER OF STUDENT TICKETS SOLD.
pROOFl:
101+202=303
303=303

lets call the number of students and adult tickets sold s and a
:
s+a=303.....eq 1
s=2a........eq 2
:
plug value of s in eq 2, which is 2a, into eq 1
:
2a+a=303
:
3a=303
: adult tickets sold........so you were close...lol
: student tickets sold
