Let A = number of adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "Let C = number of child tickets
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"8A+%2B+5C+=+201\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"A+%2B+C+=+33\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve equation 2 for one of the variables.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \"A+%2B+C+=+33\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+33+-+C\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug (33-C) into equation 1 for A
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \"8A+%2B+5C+=+201\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2A%2833+-+C%29+%2B+5C+=+201\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 8 through.
\n" ); document.write( "\"264+-+8C+%2B+5C+=+201\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "\"264+-+3C+=+201\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 264 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3C+=+-63\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -3.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28C+=+21%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for A, using 21 for C
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+33+-+C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+33+-+%2821%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28A+=+12%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
