Question 1046633
A total of 704 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 54 more student tickets sold an adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold? 
----
a + s = 704
s = a + 54
------------------
Substitute for "s" and solve for "a":
a + a+54 = 704
2a = 650
a = 325 (# of adult tickets sold)
