12x+5(37,000-x)=248,000
\n" ); document.write( "12x+185,000-5x=248,000
\n" ); document.write( "7x=248,000-185,000
\n" ); document.write( "7x=63,000
\n" ); document.write( "x=63,000/7
\n" ); document.write( "x=9,000 is the number of $12 tickets sold.
\n" ); document.write( "37,000-9,000=28,000 number of $5 tickets sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "12*9,000+5*28,000=248,000
\n" ); document.write( "108,000+140,000=248,000
\n" ); document.write( "248,000=248,000\r
