First name your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "A-adult ticket
\n" ); document.write( "C-child ticket
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BC=282\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"5%2AA%2B3%2AC=1046\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use equation 1 to solve for A in terms of C.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BC=282\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=282-C\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now subsitute for A in equation 2.
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"5%2AA%2B3%2AC=1046\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2A%28282-C%29%2B3%2AC=1046\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1410-5C%2B3C=1046\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2C=-364\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=182\"
\n" ); document.write( "From above
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=282-C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=282-182\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "A=100
\n" ); document.write( "C=182
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
