Let $\"x\"$ = number of general-admission seats sold
\n" ); document.write( "Then $\"450+-+x\"$ will be the number of reserved-seat tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "Receipts for all tickets = $\"27750\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Receipts for general-admission tickets = $\"40x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Receipts for reserved-seat tickets = $\"70%2A%28450+-+x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40x+%2B+70%2A%28450+-+x%29+=+27750\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40x+%2B+31500+-+70x+=+27750\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-30x+=+27750+-+31500\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-30x+=+-3750\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"450+-+x+=+450+-+125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"450+-+x+=+325\"$
\n" ); document.write( "125 general-admission tickets and 325 reserved-seat tickets were sold
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40x+%2B+70%2A%28450+-+x%29+=+27750\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40%2A125+%2B+70%2A325+=+27750\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5000+%2B+22750+=+27750\"$
