The answer is
A. 3x - y= -7
84 adults ; I did 108/9 = 12 then 12x7 = 84 because 9-2 = 7 and we wanted to find out the remaining number of people :))
36:21 in simplest form is 12:7, because 3 goes into both 36 and 21. Simplifying ratios is essentially the same thing as simplifying fractions. Once we have 12:7, we can't reduce any further, because 7 is prime.
Hope this helps!
