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.

Alrighty

remember some rules
(ab)^c=(a^c)(b^c)
and
x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}
and
x^0=1 for all real values of x
and
(a^b)^c=a^{bc}
and
(\frac{a}{b})^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}
and
(a/b)/(c/d)=(ad)/(bc)
and
(a^b)(a^c)=a^{b+c}
and
\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}
and don't forget pemdas
example: -x^m=-1(x^m) but (-x)^m=(-1)^m(x^m)

so

(\frac{c^{-2}}{2})^{-2}=

\frac{(c^{-2})^{-2}}{2^{-2}}=

\frac{c^4}{\frac{1}{2^2}}=

\frac{c^4}{\frac{1}{4}}=

4c^4



5.

\frac{(-a)^4bc^5}{-a^2b^{-3}c^0}=

\frac{(-1)^4(a)^4bc^5}{-1(a^2)(\frac{1}{b^3}(1)}=

\frac{(1)a^4bc^5}{\frac{(-1)(a^2)}{b^3}}=

\frac{(a^4bc^5)b^3}{(-1)(a^2)}=

\frac{-a^4b^4c^5}{a^2}=

-a^2b^4c^5
