What is Equation with one variable?

An equation consists of one variable or an relation consists of one variable and one mathematical quantities, is known as equation with one variable.

Here in this problem it is given that total number of tickets were sold for the school play is 676.

Let the number of student tickets were sold be $=S$

There can be either Student ticket or Adult tickets.

So the number of Adult tickets $=676-S$

Also it is given that the number of student tickets sold is 74 fewer than the number of adult tickets sold.

So by the condition,

$S=676-S-74\\\Rightarrow S+S=676-74\\\Rightarrow 2S=602\\\Rightarrow S=\frac{602}{2}=301$

Hence the number of student ticket sold is 301.

So the number of adult tickets sold is $=676-301=375$.
