\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of tickets sold to adults. If there are 200 tickets sold in total, the number of tickers sold to children is 200-x. To solve this, we setup the equation and it should look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " 
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B5%28200-x%29=1414\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B1000-5x=1414\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=414\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=138\"
\n" ); document.write( " 
\n" ); document.write( "138 tickets were sold to adults and 62 to children.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
