Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children, then
number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c
Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266
4c + 2c + c = 266, that is
7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )
c = 38
Thus
4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76
The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
The rise of -7 means that there is 7 less. The fall of 7 would mean that it is also 7 less. So, yes. They are both the same thing.
