Let x be the number of rides
\n" ); document.write( "Johnson 15 + 0.50 x
\n" ); document.write( "Jefferson 10 + 1.00 x
\n" ); document.write( "Johnson < Jefferson
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 1.00 x < 15 + 0.50 x
\n" ); document.write( "10 + 1.00 x < 15 + 0.50 x
\n" ); document.write( "10 - 15 < 0.5 x -1 x
\n" ); document.write( "-5 < -0.5 x
\n" ); document.write( "10 < x
\n" ); document.write( "x should be greater than 10 rides for Johnson Carnival to be less expensive
