Adult x tickets
\n" ); document.write( "child y tickets
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 11 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "6 x + 4 y = 60 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -4
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-4 x -4 y = -44
\n" ); document.write( "6 x 4 y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "2 x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 1 y = 11
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 11 -8
\n" ); document.write( " 1 y = 3
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Adult 8 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "child 3 tickets
