13x+5(34,000-x)=226,000
\n" ); document.write( "13x+170,000-5x=226,000
\n" ); document.write( "8x=226,000-170,000
\n" ); document.write( "8x=56,000
\n" ); document.write( "x=56,000/8
\n" ); document.write( "x=7,000 $13 tickets were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "34,000-7,000=27,000 $5 tickets sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "13*7,000+5*27,000=226,000
\n" ); document.write( "91,000+135,000=226,000
\n" ); document.write( "226,000=226,000
\n" ); document.write( "
