S+G=525 STUDENT + GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS SOLD
\n" ); document.write( "4S+6G=2876 AMOUNT OF MONEY COLLECTED FOR SELLING STUDENT TICKETS FOR $4 & GENERAL ADMISSION FOR $6.
\n" ); document.write( "THEN S=525-G NOW SUBSTITUTE (525-G) FOR S IN THE OTHER EQUATION WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "4(525-G)+6G=2876
\n" ); document.write( "2100-4G+6G=2876
\n" ); document.write( "2G=2876-2100
\n" ); document.write( "2G=776
\n" ); document.write( "G=776/2
\n" ); document.write( "G=388 THE NUMBER OF GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS SOLD. THEN
\n" ); document.write( "525-388=137 NUMBER OF STUDENT TICKETS SOLD.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "4*137+6*388=2876
\n" ); document.write( "548+2328=2876
\n" ); document.write( "2876=2876
\n" ); document.write( "
