At a high school football game, adult tickets cost $6 each and student tickets cost $3 each. The school collected $978 in ticket sales during a game. Write an equation that relates the number of student tickets sold, x, the number of adult tickets sold, y, and the amount of money collected. Then use your equation to determine how many adult tickets were sold if 122 student tickets were sold.

Answer:

102

Explanation:

3x + 6y = 978

x = 122

6y = 978 - 366

y = 612 / 6

y = 102
