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!

For a Brainlist !!!!!!!
UNO [17]

y=-7x+2

m=-7, so that's a negative slope.

b=2, so the y-intercept is (0,2).  That's a postiive y-intercept.

Solve 0=-7x+2 to find the x-intercept.

     7x=2

       x=2/7

The x-intercept is (2/7,0), so that's a positive x-intercept.
