    Explanation:

    A+S = 431

    14A+8S = 5332

    A=431-S

    14 (431-S) + 8S=5332

    6034-14S+8S=5332

    6034-5332=14S-8S

    702=6S

    S=702/6 = 117

    A=431-117

    A=314

    Explanation:

    Let A be the adult tickets sold.

    then number of student tickets will be 431-A

    Adult ticket cost = 14*A dollars

    Student ticket cost = (431-A) * 8

    Total Ticket cost = 14*A + (431-A) * 8

    Total tickets are equal to 5332 dollars

    14*A + (431-A) * 8 = 5332

    14A + 3448 - 8A = 5332

    6A = 5332-3448

    A = 1884 / 6

    A = 314 adult tickets
