Answer: 350 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

(omg I remember this question!)

  • a stands for the number of adult tickets sold

student tickets : a + 65

the equation for the prob:

765 = a + (a + 65)

solve:

combine 'like terms'

1.) 765 = a + a + 65

2.) 765 = 2a + 65

- 65         - 65

700= 2a

divide by 2

700/2 = 2a/2

(700/2 = 350)

(the "2" in 2a is cancelled out by the other 2)

350 = a
