\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "610-x = number of children tickets
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 1(610-x) = 1250
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 610-x = 1250
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 610 = 1250
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 640
\n" ); document.write( "x = 320 (adults)
\n" ); document.write( ".
