\r\n" );
document.write( "Let  x be the number of adult tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of children tickets is  (24-x).\r\n" );

document.write( "    8x + 6*(24 - x) = 180  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation, express \"x\" and calculate\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"%28180-6%2A24%29%2F%288-6%29\" = 18.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  18 adult tickets and the rest  24-18 = 6 are the children tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   8*18 + 6*6 = 180 dollars.    ! Correct !\r\n" );
