Let $\"+x+\"$ = the number of general admission
\n" ); document.write( "tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+200+-+x+\"$ = the number of senior tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+%2B+6%2A%28+200+-+x+%29+=+1620+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+%2B+1200+-+6x++=+1620+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3x+=+420+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+140+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+200+-+x+=+200+-+140+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+200+-+x+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "60 senior citizen tickets were sold
