Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

Answer:

-93.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be y

1/2 × y + 49 =2 1/4

y/2 +49 =9/4

y/2 =9/4-49

y/2 = 9-196/4

y/2 = -187/4

cross multiply

4y = -374

y = -93.5
