\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of days at the campground.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of days at the hotel is (10-x).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You pay 60*(10-x) dollars for staying at the hotel and 15*x dollars for the campground.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In all,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "60*(10-x) + 15*x = 330   dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is your equation, and the setup is done.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now simplify the equation and solve it for x.\r\n" );
