Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make x = children
\n" ); document.write( "y = adults.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 2200........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "1.50x + 4y = 5050...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply Eq(1) by 1.50
\n" ); document.write( "1.50x + 1.50y = 3300.....(1)
\n" ); document.write( "1.50x + 4y = 5050........(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract Eq (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2.5y = 1750
\n" ); document.write( "y = 700
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute y = 700 into
\n" ); document.write( "Equation (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 700 = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2200 - 700
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "No. of children = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "No. of adults = 700
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
