You say: \"If x represents the number of adult tickets bought... represent the number of child tickets using x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Which is it? x = adult or x = child?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Here's your answer, A for adults and C for children. Change the one you want for an x:
\n" ); document.write( "C = A+4 we'll use this value for C next
\n" ); document.write( "12A + 4C = 64
\n" ); document.write( "12A + 4(A+4) = 64
\n" ); document.write( "12A + 4A + 16 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "16A = 48
\n" ); document.write( "A = 3 She bought 3 adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "And the problem says that C = A+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 She bought 7 children tickets
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "3(12) + 7(4) = 36 + 28 = 64 Correct\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
