A + c = 148 -> c = 148 - a
12a + 9c = 1410

12a + 9(148 - a) = 1410
12a + 1332 - 9a = 1410
3a = 78
a = 26

26 + c = 148
c = 122

We'll call the number of adults (x). Since there are 148 people total, the number of children will be 148 minus the number of adults, or (148 - x). 

<span>12 pounds for each adult = 12x </span>
<span>9 pounds for each child = 9 (148-x) = (1332 - 9x) </span>

<span>The total pounds for adults plus children is 1,410, so the equation would be: </span>

<span>12x + (1332 - 9x) = 1410 </span>

<span>Combine like terms: </span>

<span>3x + 1332 = 1410 </span>

<span>Get x term alone by subtracting 1332 from both sides: </span>

<span>3x = 78 </span>

<span>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 3 </span>

<span>x = 26 = number of adults </span>

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180.
anastassius [24]
True.

two angles would be complementary if the sum of their angle measures is 90 degrees.

60 degrees and 30 degrees make a complementary angle while 90 and 90 degrees make a supplementary angle.
