    601 (total tickets) - 51 (difference between 2 types of tickets) divided by 2 (number of types of tickets):

    (601-51) / 2 =

    550/2=275

    S=51+a and we are told that:

    a+s=601, using s found above in this equation you get:

    a+51+a=601

    2a+51=601

    2a=550

    a=275

    So 275 adult tickets were sold.
