Let the number of cities visited by Rock band be x.
\n" ); document.write( "The jazz band visited 96 cities more than the rock band.
\n" ); document.write( "So, the number of cities visited by Jazz band will be (x+96).
\n" ); document.write( "Together the two tours visited 174 cities.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, add them together.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rock + Jazz = 174
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+96)=174
\n" ); document.write( "2x+96=174\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, subtract 96 on both the sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x+96-96=174-96
\n" ); document.write( "2x=78\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, divide with 2 on both the sides
\n" ); document.write( "x=39\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, x+96 = 39+96 =135.
\n" ); document.write( "So, the number of cities visited by Rock band is 39.
\n" ); document.write( "And the number of cities visited by Jazz band is 135.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
