What is simple equation?
A equation which represents relationship between two expressions
Let x= student ticket
y= Adult ticket
From given 5x+10y=445
x+y=71
y=71-x
5x+10y=445
5x+10(71-x)=445
5x+710-10x=445
710-5x=445
265=5x
x=53
53+y=71
y=18
Therefore 53 student tickets and 18 adult tickets were sold in one day
