Adult ticket x Numbers
\n" ); document.write( "Child ticket ------------ y Numbers
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=920 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "4x+2y=2446 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-2y= -1840
\n" ); document.write( "4x+2y=2446
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "2x=606
\n" ); document.write( "/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=303
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=920
\n" ); document.write( "303+y=920
\n" ); document.write( "y=920-303
\n" ); document.write( "y=617
\n" ); document.write( "y=617
\n" ); document.write( "
