Answer: 325

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets be x

( since there are an unknown amount of tickets for adults, we already know how many student tickets there are)

Let the number of student tickets be x+60

710=x+x+60

710=2x+60

-60 -60

650=2x

650/2

= 325

Adult tickets=325

Student tickets=385
