Let
\n" ); document.write( "x=Adult Ticket
\n" ); document.write( "y=Children Ticket\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Adult ticket = 2.25
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Children ticket = 1.10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost of x tickets sold=2.25*x
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of y tickets sold=1.10*y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adult tickets sold + children’s tickets sold = Total tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=14
\n" ); document.write( "x=14-y………………(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Adult tickets sold + Cost of Children’s tickets sold = Cost of total tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "2.25x+1.10y=22.30……..(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Put value of x from (1) to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2.25x+1.10y=22.30……..(2)
\n" ); document.write( "2.25(14-y)+1.10y=22.30
\n" ); document.write( "2.25(14-y)+1.10y=22.30
\n" ); document.write( "31.5-2.25y+1.10y=22.30
\n" ); document.write( "-1.15y=22.30-31.5
\n" ); document.write( "-1.15y=-9.2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-9.2/-1.15
\n" ); document.write( "y=8
\n" ); document.write( "8 children attended the movie.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
