People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.
Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.
Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.
