X=number of girls.
y=number of boys.
We can suggest this system of equations:
2/7 x=3/5 y ⇒10x=21y   ⇒x=21/10 y
y=x-165 

We can solve this problem by substitution method:
x=(21/10)(x-165)
10x=21x-3465
10x-21x=-3465
-11x=-3465
x=-3465 /-11=315

y=x-165=315-165=150

Number of children=number of girls + number of boys
Number of children=315 +150=465

Answer: there were 465 children  at the festival.

Softa [21]
-5/2 is equivalent to -2.5, and if you multiply 2.5 by 2 you get 5, and you have to have the negative, so add that to the 5 and you get -5. Hope this helps!
