\r\n" );
document.write( "So if x = the number of boys, then\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "number of girls = 2x+4\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "School has at least 244 students.

\r\n" );
document.write( "That says:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So:\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So there are at least 80 boys\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To find the number of girls, we make the left side equal to 2x+4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \r\n" );
