A total of 560 tickets were sold for the school play they were either adult tickets or student tickets there were 60 more student tickets sold in adult tickets how many adult tickets were sold

Answer: 250

Step-by-step explanation:

560 = x + (x+60)

We subtract 60 from both sides now there is x on one side and 250. There were 250 adult tickets we can also confirm that by inserting 250 to x.

560=250 + (250+60)

560=250+310

560=560
