Wassup4, your questions is unsolvable because you said the school made $175 from the box office, yet you just said that the money from adult sales was $188 dollars and 175. But I'll solve it anyway. 175=188+3x. - 13=3x x=-4 1/3. Technically, the school lost 4 1/3 students. Don't trust my calculation.
