A+C=1460
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "C=1460-A
\n" ); document.write( "18A+12C=22752
\n" ); document.write( "18A+12(1460-A)=22752
\n" ); document.write( "18A+17520-12A=22752
\n" ); document.write( "6A=22752-17520
\n" ); document.write( "6A=5232
\n" ); document.write( "A=5232/6
\n" ); document.write( "A=872 ANS. FOR THE NUMBER OF ADULTS.
\n" ); document.write( "872+C=1460
\n" ); document.write( "C=1460-872
\n" ); document.write( "C=588 ANS. FOR THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN TICKETS.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "18*872+12*588=22752
\n" ); document.write( "15696+7056=22752
\n" ); document.write( "22752=22752
