Answer:

2,172 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults = x

children = y

x + y = 5400

9.5x + 6.5y = 41,616

Let's use the elimination method to solve this.

Multiply the top equation by -6.5

(x + y = 5400)-6.5

-6.5x - 6.5y = -35100

This will allow us to eliminate the y and add up the other terms

9.5x + 6.5y = 41,616

-6.5x - 6.5y = -35100

3x = 6516

Divide both sides by the coefficient, 3, to isolate the variable, x

3x/3 = 6516/3

x = 2172

Rewrite 8/9 with a denominator of 63
lesantik [10]
To write 9 as 63, you need to multiply it by a number. 63/9 = 7.
So you need to multiply 9 by 7 to get 63.

But since it's a fraction, you can't multiply the denominator without multiply the numerator. So you need to multiply the denominator, 9, by 7 and the numerator, 8, by 7.

8/9 = (8*7) / (9*7) = 56/63

So 8/9 = 56/63

Hope this helps! :)
