Let x be the no: of floor seats
\n" ); document.write( "and y be the number of stadium seats
\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 170 -> equation 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost of floor seat = $50
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of stadium seat = $35
\n" ); document.write( "theatre sold 170 tickets for $6625
\n" ); document.write( "50x + 35y = 6625
\n" ); document.write( "=> 10x + 7y = 1325
\n" ); document.write( " 7x+7y = 1190 (multiply equation 1 by 7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the above 2 equations,
\n" ); document.write( " 3x = 135
\n" ); document.write( "=> x = 45
\n" ); document.write( " y = 170 -x = 125\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 45 floor seats and 125 stadium seats\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
