Answer:
Adult tickets = 276
Step-by-step explanation:
a + s = 491 Eq. 1
a = s + 61 Eq. 2
a = adult tickets
s = student ticket
Replacing Eq. 2 in Eq. 1:
(s+61) + s = 491
2s + 61 = 491
2s = 491 - 61
2s = 430
s = 430/2
s = 215
from the Eq. 2
a = s + 61
a = 215 + 61
a = 276
Check:
from Eq. 1:
a + s = 491
276 + 215 = 491
