    Let: A = adult tickets; S = student tickets

    a. 498 = 5A + 3S

    118 = A + S

    b. S = 118 - A

    498 = 5A + 3 (118 - A)

    498 = 5A + 354 - 3A

    498 - 354 = 2A

    144 = 2A

    A = 72

    118 = S + A

    118 = 72 + S

    118 - 72 = S

    S = 46

    c. Therefore, there were 72 adult tickets and 46 student tickets sold.
