Let
\n" ); document.write( "Number of Children = x
\n" ); document.write( "Number of Adults = x + 289\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adults + Children = 737
\n" ); document.write( "(x+289)+x=737
\n" ); document.write( "x+289+x=737
\n" ); document.write( "2x=737-289
\n" ); document.write( "2x=448
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2=448/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=224\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of Children = x = 224
\n" ); document.write( "Number of Adults = x + 289 = 224+289=513\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "======
\n" ); document.write( "Total Attendance = Adults + Children
\n" ); document.write( "737 = 513+224
\n" ); document.write( "737=737
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
