There are two types of tickets for a school play,
\n" ); document.write( "let g = the general admission cost
\n" ); document.write( "let s = the student ticket cost
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the total cost for one student ticket and one general ticket is $11,
\n" ); document.write( "g + s = 11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the total cost for 14 student tickets and 9 general tickets is $119
\n" ); document.write( "9g + 14s = 119
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 1st equation by 9 and subtract from the above equation
\n" ); document.write( "9g + 14s = 119
\n" ); document.write( "9g + 9s = 99
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------Subtraction eliminates g, find s
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 20
\n" ); document.write( "s = 20/5
\n" ); document.write( "s = $4 is the cost of the student ticket.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this out, general admission: g = 11-4 = $7
\n" ); document.write( "9(7) + 4(14) =
\n" ); document.write( "63 + 56 = 119\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
