First you know you'll divide by -2, so the sign will be flipped.
That eliminates the first and second options, then you'll just have to do math.
Solve simultaneously:
<span>15x-8y=52 and
6x+14y=38
</span>
Let's solve this system thru elimination by addition/subtraction:
Let's get rid of the x terms.
To do this, mult. the first eqn. by -6 and the second by 15. (This is not the only way in which we can do this!!) We get
-90x + 48y = -312
90x +210y = 570
--------------------------
Add all 3 columns together. We end up with:
258y = 258, so y = 1. You can find x by subst. 1 for y in either of the given equations.
If you'd like more help, please be specific about what you want.

The last answer is correct
There are 72 passengers in total and 35 are men and women as one category.
The number of children are 72 - 35 = 37

So the success is 37 (number of children. And the total number of people is 72.
The probability of a child being asked is 37/72.
