You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let m = no. of member tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "let n = no. of non-member
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2000 tickets were sold for a ball.
\n" ); document.write( "m + n = 2000
\n" ); document.write( "m = (2000-n); we can use this form for substitution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Members tickets were sold for $10 and non-member tickets were sold for $20. A total of $35,000 was collected.
\n" ); document.write( "10m + 20n = 35000
\n" ); document.write( "Replace m with (2000-n)
\n" ); document.write( "10(2000-n) + 20n = 35000
\n" ); document.write( "20000 - 10n + 20n = 35000
\n" ); document.write( "10n = 35000 - 20000
\n" ); document.write( "10n = 15000
\n" ); document.write( "n = 15000/10
\n" ); document.write( "n = 1500 non-members
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the no. of members
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2000 - 1500
\n" ); document.write( "m = 500 members
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solution in the equation: 10m + 20n = 35000
\n" ); document.write( "10(500) + 20(1500) =
\n" ); document.write( "5000 + 30000 = 35000\r
