x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

AAB I think that's it get back to me If its wrong
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Base = area x 2 / height
Base = 6 1/4 x 2 = 12 1/2 / 3 1/3
Base = 3 3/4 m
