Question

A school makes $175 from ticket sales for a school play. from the ticket sales, $188 are from adult tickets. Student tickets are $3 each. How many students attended the play. Write and equation and solve.

Answer 1

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.
