Senior citizens x tickets
\n" ); document.write( "regular y tickets
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 65 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "10 x + 15 y = 855 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -15
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-15 x -15 y = -975
\n" ); document.write( "10 x + 15 y = 855
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-5 x = -120
\n" ); document.write( "/ -5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 65
\n" ); document.write( "24 + 1 y = 65
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 65 -24
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 41
\n" ); document.write( " y = 41
\n" ); document.write( "Senior citizens 24 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "regular 41 tickets
