N+S=2,000 OR N=2,000-S
\n" ); document.write( "10N+7S=17,339
\n" ); document.write( "10(2,000-S)+7S=17,339
\n" ); document.write( "20,000-10S+7S=17,339
\n" ); document.write( "-3S=17,339-20,000
\n" ); document.write( "-3S=-2,661
\n" ); document.write( "S=-2,661/-3
\n" ); document.write( "S=887 STUDENT TICKETS WERE SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "N=2,000-887=1,113 NON-STUDENT TICKETS WERE SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "10*1,113+7*887=17,339
\n" ); document.write( "11,130+6,209=17,339
\n" ); document.write( "17,339=17,339
