What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the number of adult tickets is x

So the number of student tickets is (x-73)

x + (x-73) = 337

2x—73 = 337

2x = 410

x = 205 tickets

Thus, the total number of adult tickets sold for the school play is 205 tickets if the total of 337 tickets were sold for the school play.
