Student tickets x
\n" ); document.write( "Non student tickets y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=4000.............1
\n" ); document.write( "3x+6y= 13500 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -6
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-6x-6y=-24000
\n" ); document.write( "3x+6y=13500
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-3x=-10500
\n" ); document.write( "/-3
\n" ); document.write( "x=3500
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=4000
\n" ); document.write( "3500+y= 4000
\n" ); document.write( "y=4000-3500
\n" ); document.write( "y=500
\n" ); document.write( " y = 500.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
