Ok, to show that she is incorrect we can use any other number in both equations and they will not be equal. the number she used does turn out equal but that does not mean the equations are equal.
for example
2 times 3=6
3 to the power of 2 is 9
that shows the expressions are not equal

Define adult and student tickets
------------------------------------------
Let the number of adult tickets be x
Adult tickets = x
Student tickets = x + 69
------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------
x + x + 69 = 569
2x + 69 = 569 ← Combine like terms
2x = 569 - 69 ← Subtract 69 from both sides
2x = 500
x = 250 ← Divide by 2 to find x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of adult tickets and student tickets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adult tickets = x = 250
Student tickets = x + 69 = 319
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Adult tickets = 250 ; Student tickets = 319
