Atotal of 708 tickets were sold for the school play they were either adult tickets or student tickets there were 58 more student tickets sold than adult tickets how many adult tickets were sold

X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets

Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708

Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708

Subtract 58.
2x = 650

Divide by 2.
x = 325

Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.

(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)

32.10 is the correct answer
