\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BC=30\"Total tickets sold.
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"5A%2B2C=87\" Total tickets cost.
\n" ); document.write( "Use eq. 1 to solve for A as a function of C.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BC=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=30-C\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this expression for A in eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"5A%2B2C=87\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2830-C%29%2B2C=87\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for C.
\n" ); document.write( "\"150-5C%2B2C=87\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3C=-63\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=21\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use eq. 1 to solve for A.
