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!

Which of the following changes will always be true for an exothermic process?
Ivenika [448]
Given that I no not see any explanation in the previos answer, I think you can benefit of this.

Exothermic refers only to the fact that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat when occurs. So, the enthalpy is higher at start and lower and the end.

Seen in this way, you can deduct that the change in enthalpy is negative, which is what the third option says.
