To solve, you would need to make two equations and substitute one in for the other. Let a = # of adults, and c = # of children

5a + 2c = 1,220
a + c = 295

a + c = 295
-c         -c
a = 295 - c

5(295 - c) + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 5c + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220

1,475 - 3c = 1,220
-1,475           -1,475
-3c = -255

-3c/-3 = -255/-3
c = 85

a + c = 295
a + 85 = 295
     -85    -85
a = 210

210 adults attended the dance recital

Hope this helps!

Simplify -2(4 – 5s + 12t – 2u)
g100num [7]

Answer: -8+10s-24t+4u

Steps: Multiply the parantheses by -2

-2×4-2×(-5s)-2×12t-2×(-2u)

Multiply the numbers and calculate the product.

-8+10s-2×12t-2×(-2u) → -8+10s-24t-2×(-2u) → -8+10s-24t+2×2u

And you get -8+10s-24t+4u

Hope this helps ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
