a+c=40

c=40-a

11c +20a=728

11(40-a)+20a=728

440-11a +20a=728

440+9a=728

9a = 288

a=288/9 = 32

32 adults

8 children

A + c = 40
20a + 11c = 728

Multiply equation # 1 by -11, then add the two equations together to clear the 'c' variable and solve for 'a'.

-11(a + c = 40)


20a + 11c = 728
-11a - 11c = -440
------------------------
9a  = 288
Divide both sides by 9
a = 32

a + c = 40
32 + c = 40
subtract 32 from both sides
c = 8

8 children and 32 adults; option 1
