You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I found that it helps to write everything out like this...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Student=$4
\n" ); document.write( "General=$6
\n" ); document.write( "x=number of student tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "y=number of general admission tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=525 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "4x+6y=2876\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "THEN you solve it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
