\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of hikes.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st club expenses:
\n" ); document.write( "C(x) = 20 + 5x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd club expenses:
\n" ); document.write( "C(x) = 7x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "20+5x<7x
\n" ); document.write( "20 < 2x
\n" ); document.write( "x > 10 hikes
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "If there are more than 10 hikes the 1st club is less expensive,\r
