Let \"S\" be the number of student tickets, \"A\" the number of adult tickets.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"S%2BA=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3S%2B5A=1130\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 1 by (-3) and add to eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3S-3A%2B3S%2B5A=-900%2B1130\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2A=230\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=115\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"115%2BS=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28S=185%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
