Answer: 51 Children and 36 Adults.
Step-by-step explanation: Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.
We know that x+z= 87
We also know that 3.25x+3.5z= 291.75.
We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:
Multiply the first equation by -3.5 and add it to the second equation:
-3.5x-3.5z= -304.5
3.25x+3.5z= 291.75
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-0.25x=-12.75
x= -42.75 ÷ -0.25
x=51
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z
51+z=87
z=87-51
z= 36
Omg took me like 10 minutes to calculate would appreciate brainliest. Have a wonderful day.
