A=number Adults, C=number children B=admission bill
\n" ); document.write( "$14A+$11C=B ANSWER A:General equation
\n" ); document.write( " Solve for C: subtract $14A from each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2414A%2B%2411C-%2414A=B-%2414A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2411C=B-%2414A\" divide each side by $11
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2411C%2F%28%2411%29=%28B-%2414A%29%2F%28%2411%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=%28B-%2414A%29%2F%2411\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute given values: with 9 adults (A) and Bill(B)=$896
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=%28%24896-%2414%289%29%29%2F%2411\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=%28%24896-%24126%29%2F%2411\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=%24770%2F%2411\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=70\" ANSWER 70 children went on the field trip
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
