Answer 2

its system of equations :(

Answer 3

A group of 148 people is spending five days at a summer camp. The cook ordered 12 pounds of food for each adult and 9 pounds of food for each child. A total of 1,410 pounds of food was ordered.
a. Write a system of equations that describes the above situation and define your variables.
b. Using your work from a, find
i. the total number of adults in the group
ii. The total number of children in the group

Answer 4

And how far have you gotten with your attempt?

Answer 5

So now you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns. If you can rearrange the 1st equation to equal one of your unknowns, you can use that new equation in the second eq'n to solve for the other variable. \[A=148-C\]\[12(148-C)+9C = 1410\]
Now solve for C algebraically and you've got it made.
