\n" ); document.write( "let x=adults' tickets
\n" ); document.write( " y=children's tickets
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " x+y=500
\n" ); document.write( " y=500-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perform the indicated operations in the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 4.50x+2.50(500-x) =1650
\n" ); document.write( " 4.50x+1250-2.50x =1650
\n" ); document.write( " 4.50x-2.50x =1650-1250
\n" ); document.write( " 2x/2= 400/2
\n" ); document.write( " x=200 adults' tickets\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " y=500-200
\n" ); document.write( " y=300 children's tickets\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since, 200x4.50 =900
\n" ); document.write( " 300x2.50 =750
\n" ); document.write( " 900+750 =1650 ticket sales
\n" ); document.write( "thank you...=)\r
