Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "I take it you mean adult's tickets cost $8 and kid's tickets cost $5.
\n" ); document.write( "Make adult's tickets = x
\n" ); document.write( "Make kid's tickets = y
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 28.......Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 5y = 164....Eq(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply Eq(1) by 8
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 8y = 224....Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 5y = 164....Eq(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract Eq(2) from Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( " 3y = 60
\n" ); document.write( " y = 20.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute y = 20 into Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 28.....Eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 20 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "x = 28 - 20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "8 Adult's tickets and 20 kid's tickets were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
