You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let s = price of the senior cit ticket
\n" ); document.write( "let c = price of a child's ticket
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38.
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 1c = 38
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets.
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 2c = 52
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write the two equation for elimination
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 2c = 52
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 1c = 38
\n" ); document.write( "----------------subtraction eliminates s, find c
\n" ); document.write( "0 + 1c = $14 for one child ticket
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find s using the equation 3s + 1c = 38, replace c with 14
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 14 = 38
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 38 - 14
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 24
\n" ); document.write( "s = 24/3
\n" ); document.write( "s = $8 for each senior
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check these solutions using the 2n equation\r
