a, adults
\n" ); document.write( "c, children\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28a%2Bc=619%2C3a%2Bc=1150%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The convenient way to continue is Eliminate c, solving first for a.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283a%2Bc%29-%28a%2Bc%29=1150-619\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2a=531\"
\n" ); document.write( "but this makes no sense. Whole and EVEN number for a will be needed. There cannot be any HALF of an adult. Recheck your problem description.
\n" ); document.write( "
