You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x= No of adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "y= No of child tickets
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 1025 .............1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 1 y = 1250 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -1
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 1
\n" ); document.write( "-1 x -1 y = -1025
\n" ); document.write( "2 x + 1 y = 1250
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "1 x = 225
\n" ); document.write( "/ 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 225
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 x + 1 y = 1025
\n" ); document.write( "225 + y = 1025
\n" ); document.write( " y = 1025 -225
\n" ); document.write( " y = 800
\n" ); document.write( " y = 800 1
\n" ); document.write( "x= 225 No of adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "y= 800 No of child tickets
