let the number of tickets sold to non seniors and seniors , be n and s respectively
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "n+s=400.........eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "7n+5s=2600......eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "lets rewrite eq 1 to s=400-n and place that value into eq 2.
