\r\n" );
document.write( "If x is the number of adult tickets sold, the the number of student tickets is (60-x).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The revenue equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4*(60-x) + 6x = 288.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and solve\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    240-4x + 6x = 288\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2x          = 288 - 240 = 48\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     x                      = 48/2 = 24.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  24 adult tickets, and the rest, 60-24 = 36 student tickets.\r\n" );
