Answer 1

106

Explanation:

Hi there!

so first step denote the adult tickets by X

since the number of adult tickets is x,

the number of students ticket will twice,

so it will be 2x

2x + 1x = 318

3x = 318

x = 318 ÷ 3

x = 106

since adult tickets is denoted by x,

the number of adults tickets is 106 tickets

if you are looking for children tickets then it will be 2 × x which is 2 × 106 = 212 tickets

Answer 2

106 adult tickets sold okkkkkkk
