Let number of adults be A
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of children = 1,100 - A
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 1.5A + .5(1,100 - A) = 1,350
\n" );
document.write( "1.5A + 550 - .5A = 1,350
\n" );
document.write( "1.5A - .5A = 1,350 - 550
\n" );
document.write( "A, or number of adults = 
\n" );
document.write( "Subtract 800 from 1,100 to get the number of children!
\n" );
document.write( "That's all!! Nothing more, nothing LESS! That's how SIMPLE this is! \n" );

\n" );
