    The number of adult tickets sold was 121

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The general equation is: S + A = T; where S means student tickets, A means adult tickets and T means total tickets. We know that S is two times A and T is 363. So, S will be 2x and A will be x. Then, the new equation is 2x + x = 363.

    S + A = T

    2x + x = 363

    3x = 363

    x = 363 / 3

    x = 121

    Adult tickets: A = x = 121

    Student tickets: S = 2x = 2 * 121 = 242
