A movie theater sells tickets for $8 each, with seniors receiving a discount of $2. One evening the theater took in $3580 in revenue. There were 525 tickets sold that evening.\r

As usual he's WRONG! His equations ARE! They're NOT 4x + y = 1,790 and x + y = 52, so: \r\n" );
document.write( "Will this person EVER stop making all these mistakes? I wonder!!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As x were sold at $8, and y were sold at discounted price of $6, we get:\r\n" );
document.write( "8x + 6y = 3,580, which when reduced, becomes: 4x + 3y = 1,790 ----- eq (i)\r\n" );
document.write( "As 525 tickets were sold, we also get: x + y = 525 ------ eq (ii)

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
