\n" ); document.write( " The total cost of the trip is $225.
\n" ); document.write( " Solve the equation 9(e+5) = 225 to find the cost e of the entrance fee for each student.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "9(e + 5) = 225
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the 9
\n" ); document.write( "9e + 45 = 225
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 45 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "9e = 225 - 45
\n" ); document.write( "9e = 180
\n" ); document.write( "e = 180/9
\n" ); document.write( "e = $20 is the entrance fee
\n" ); document.write( ":
