It would cost 79.86 to buy 3 tickets in Japan and 2 tickets in switzerland. Three tickets in Switzerland and 2 tickets in Japan would cost 75.94. What is the cost of a ticket in each country?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3j + 2s = 79.86
\n" ); document.write( "2j + 3s = 75.94
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the top equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the bottom equation by 3
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "6j + 4s = 2*79.96
\n" ); document.write( "6j + 9s = 3*75.94
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"s\":
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 67.9
\n" ); document.write( "s = $13.58 (ticket price to switzerland)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"j\" using 3j + 2s = 79.86
\n" ); document.write( "3j + 27.16 = 79.86
\n" ); document.write( "3j = 52.70
\n" ); document.write( "j = $17.54 (ticket price to japan)
