Let $\"+s+\"$ = number of student tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of non-student tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+%2B+n+=+358+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+1.5s+%2B+3.25n+=+725.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+150s+%2B+325n+=+72525+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides of (1) by $\"+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+150s+%2B+325n+=+72525+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+-150s+-+150n+=+53700+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+175n+=+18825+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+107.57+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and, since

\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+%2B+107.57+=+358+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+s+=+250.43+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "I think there's a problem somewhere,
