Question 1159406
.
<pre>
If x is the number of adult tickets sold, the the number of student tickets is (60-x).


The revenue equation is

    4*(60-x) + 6x = 288.


Simplify and solve

    240-4x + 6x = 288

    2x          = 288 - 240 = 48

     x                      = 48/2 = 24.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  24 adult tickets, and the rest, 60-24 = 36 student tickets.

Solved.
