\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Auantity:: a + c = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq: 4a+(3/2)c = 5050
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "4a + 4c = 8800
\n" ); document.write( "4a + (3/2)c = 5050
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"c\":
\n" ); document.write( "(5/2)c = 3750
\n" ); document.write( "c = (2/5)3750
\n" ); document.write( "c = 1500 (# of child tickets sold)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"a\":
\n" ); document.write( "a + 1500 = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "a = 700 (# of adult tickets)
