anonymous · Answer

x+y=460
12x+16y=6520
where x is a student n y is an adult

anonymous · Answer

solving for x and y
x=460-y
12(460-y)+16y=6520
5520-12y+16y=6520
4y=1000
y=250
x=210

anonymous · Answer

x+y=460
12x+16y=6520

y=460-x

12x+16(460-x)=6520
-4x+7360=6520
4x=840
x=210

y=250.
