document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of adults.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then (118-x) is the number of children.\r\n" );

document.write( "The setup equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4x + 1.5*(118-x) = 334.50 dollars\r\n" );

document.write( "ANSWER.  63 adults and 118-63 = 55 children.\r\n" );
