Let \"+n+\" = number of children at party
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+C+\" = total cost of party
\n" ); document.write( "At pizza place:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+8n+%2B+30+\"
\n" ); document.write( "At taco place:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12n+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find \"+n+\" that will make the cost, \"C+\"
\n" ); document.write( "of the 2 places equal
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8n+%2B+30+=+12n+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4n+=+16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "If 1 more child is invited, the \"+n+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "At pizza place:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+8n+%2B+30+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+8%2A5+%2B+30+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+70+\"
\n" ); document.write( "At taco place:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12n+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12%2A5+%2B+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+74+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "When 5 children are invited, the cost becomes less
\n" ); document.write( "at the pizza place
\n" ); document.write( "Here are plots of the 2 equations:
