Answer:

Adult tickets sold = 240

Explanation:

If student tickets = x,

Adult tickets = 3x + 6

Since the total amount of tickets sold was 318, the equation would be:

x + 3x + 6 = 318

Simplify this:

4x + 6 = 318

4x = 312

x = 78

Student tickets = 78

and so:

Adult tickets = (3 x 78) + 6 = 240
