Here is how to solve it with long division and synthetic division.
Answer:
<u>112 children</u>
<u>180 adults</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adults = A
Let the number of children = C
A + C =292
4A + 1.5C = 888. solve for A, C
A = 292 - C
4[292 - C] + 1.5C = 888
1,168 - 4C + 1.5C = 888
-2.5C = - 280
C = -280 / -2.5
C = 112 - Number of children
292 - 112 = 180 - Number of adults
