Let x be the number of adults
\n" ); document.write( "Then (11-x) be the number of children\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B5%2811-x%29=67\" ---8x represent the amount of money paid by adults, and 5(11-x) represent amount of money paid by children, if you add them they would equal to the total paid amount 67.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B55-5x=67\" ---Multiplying 5 into 11-x
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=12\" ---Joined like terms and moved term
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4%28adults%29\" ---Divide 12 and 3x by 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Number of children
\n" ); document.write( "=11-4
\n" ); document.write( "=7(children)
\n" ); document.write( "
