\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of child tickets sold that day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of adult tickets sold is (158-x).\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write the total money equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    6.30*x + 9.60*(158-x) = 1193.40  dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify step by step and find x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    6.30x + 9.60*158 - 9.60x = 1193.40\r\n" );
