StartLayout Enlarged Left-Brace 1st Row f + d = 240 2nd Row f minus d = 180 EndLayout

Let f = number of full-price tickets and d = number of discount tickets.

Total: f + d = 240.
180 more full-price than discount: f = d + 180, which is equivalent to f − d = 180.

So the correct system is:
f + d = 240
f − d = 180.
