You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+s+\" = price of a student ticket
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+a+\" = price of an adult ticket
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+s+=+%283%2F4%29%2Aa+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+30s+%2B+20a+=+212.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "By substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+30%2A%28+%283%2F4%29%2Aa+%29+%2B+20a+=+212.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+%2890%2F4%29%2Aa+%2B+%2880%2F4%29%2Aa+=+212.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+%28170%2F4%29%2Aa+=+212.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+=+%28+2%2F85+%29%2A212.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "I misplaced my calculator- you can finish
\n" ); document.write( "Then find \"+s+\"\r
