Answer:

a=2 , b= (-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4b=20/×(-2)

5a-8b=62

-16a+8b= -40

5a-8b=62

now -8+8=0 right? so the only parameter that we have is a.

-16a+5a= -40+62

11a = 22/(÷11)

a=2

in order to find b, we will replace a with its value in one of the original equations (it doesn't matter which one you will choose).For instance, I chose the first one.

8×2-4b=20

-4b=20-16

-4b=4/÷(-4)

b= -1

kkurt [141]

Answer:

lets call the children, c, and call adult, a,

c+a= 52 eq 1: a=52-c

c=3a eq 2

take a's value from eq 1 and plug it into eq 2

c=3(52-c)

c=156-3c

4c=156

c=39 the number of children that attended the ball game.
