    x, student tickets

    y, adult tickets

    x+y=306

    x=2y, exact translation of the description into a system of equations. Solve for the value of y.

    The process can be, solve for x in terms of y, already seen as THE second equation of the system; substitute into the other equation, and solve the result for y, and compute.

    (2y) + y=306

    3y=306

    y=102 adult tickets sold.
