If students and ticket and non-students ticket are \"x\" and \"y\",\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \"821\" tickets were sold, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=821\"..........1 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for a total of $\"1933\", students paid $2 per ticket and non-students paid $3 per ticket\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B3y=1933\"..........2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=821\"..........1 ...solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=821-y\"....plug it in 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B3y=1933\"..........2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28821-y%29%2B3y=1933\"..solve for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1642-2y%2B3y=1933\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=1933-1642\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=291%29\"........\"291\" non-student tickets were sold\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=821-y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=821-291\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=highlight%28530%29\".........\"530\" student tickets were sold\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"530%2A2=1060\"........total cost of student tickets\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"291%2A3=873\"........total cost of non-student tickets\r
