Right from the beginning, this can't be solved.
\n" ); document.write( "Attendance is 800, and even if all the tickets were for the balcony only, the receipts would be $4000. I will edit to $7000 receipts, instead of $700.
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "concert=x
\n" ); document.write( "orchestra= 800-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+10(800-x)=7000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+8000-10x=7000
\n" ); document.write( "-5x=-1000
\n" ); document.write( "x=200
\n" ); document.write( "800-x=600\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "200*5=1000
\n" ); document.write( "600*10=6000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This works
\n" ); document.write( "
