    x: number of adult tickets

    y: number of student tickets

    A total of 516 tickets were sold for the school day

    x + y = 516

    The number of student tickets sold was three times the number of adult tickets.

    y = 3*x

    Substitute y in the first equation with 3*x

    x + 3*x = 516

    4*x = 516

    x = 129 adult tickets

    Now solve for y

    y = 3*129 = 387 student tickets
