\r\n" );
document.write( "From the condition, in P:  11x women\r\n" );

document.write( "In Q, there are also 15x persons: 7.5x men and 7.5x women.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Very good.  So, the total number of women in P and Q is 11x + 7.5x = 18.5x.\r\n" );
