let number of adult tickets sold be x at $7
\n" ); document.write( "let number of children's tickets sold be y at $4
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x+y= 78...............1
\n" ); document.write( "7x+4y=387.............2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "multiply 1 by 7 and subtract 2
\n" ); document.write( "7x+7y-7x-4y=546-387
\n" ); document.write( "3y= 159
\n" ); document.write( "y= 159/3
\n" ); document.write( "y=53 number ofchildren's tickets
\n" ); document.write( "adults tickets will be 78-53= 25 numbers
\n" ); document.write( "
