Let $\"+c+\"$ = number of children
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+78+-+c+\"$ = number of adults
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4+%2F+2+=+2+%2F+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+%2F+1+=+%28%28+78+-+c+%29%29+%2F+c+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+c+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2c+=+78+-+c+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3c+=+78+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+26+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+78+-+c+=+52+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 26 children
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
