\n" );
document.write( "Hi, misclick
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and y represent the cost of the adult and student tickets resepctively:
\n" );
document.write( "2x + 4y = 14   |Jack
\n" );
document.write( "2x + 6y = 23   |Bill \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "-2x - 4y = -14   
\n" );
document.write( " 2x + 6y = 23
\n" );
document.write( "       2y = 9
\n" );
document.write( "        y = 4.50, cost of student ticket, as You said, does not make sense.
\n" );
document.write( "Check the money spent by each, possibly a typo there.
\n" );
document.write( "Sure sign of that would be the values given. 
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
