To find out how many student tickets Roberta sold, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's say "x" represents the number of adult tickets that Roberta sold. Since she sold ten more student tickets than adult tickets, the number of student tickets she sold can be represented as "x + 10."

According to the information provided, Roberta sold a total of fifty tickets, which includes both adult and student tickets. So we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 10) = 50

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 10 = 50

Subtracting 10 from both sides:

2x = 40

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 20

So, Roberta sold 20 adult tickets.

To find the number of student tickets, we substitute the value of x in the equation x + 10:

20 + 10 = 30

Therefore, Roberta sold 30 student tickets.
