Answer:
y = 30200
x = -29950
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)
Let x represent children and y for adults.
200x + 450y = 7,600,000
x + y = 250
2.)
200x + 450y = 7,600,000
x + y = 250
-200(x + y = 250)
-200x + -200 = -50000
200x + 450y = 7,600,000
+ -200x + -200 = -50000
——————————————-
250y = 7550000
y = 30200
x + 30200 = 250
x = -29950
Uhm so I don’t know why for children I got a negative number? The wording for this question is very weird.
