\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of \"green\" tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of \"blue\" tickets is (7420-x).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The total money equation is, therefore,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    13.50x + 9*(7420-x) = 79830    dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation, express x and calculate\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x =  = 2900.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  2900 \"green\" tickets and the rest, (7420-2900) = 4520 \"blue\" tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   13.50*2900 + 9*4520 = 79830 dollars.   ! Precisely correct !\r\n" );
