A+S=1435
\n" ); document.write( "A=1435-S
\n" ); document.write( "5A+1.50S=3552.50
\n" ); document.write( "5(1435-S)+1.50S=3552.50
\n" ); document.write( "7175-5S+1.5S=3552.50
\n" ); document.write( "-3.5S=3552.5-7175
\n" ); document.write( "-3.5S=-3622.50
\n" ); document.write( "S=-3622.50/-3.5
\n" ); document.write( "S=1035 NUMBER OD STUDENT TICKETS SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "A+1035=1435
\n" ); document.write( "A=1435-1035
\n" ); document.write( "A=400 NUMBER OF ADULT TICKETS SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "5*400+1035*1.50=3552.50
\n" ); document.write( "2000+1552.50=3552.50
\n" ); document.write( "3552.50=3552.50\r
