A. 7 children and 28 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 35
Equation 2: 6a − c = 70
B. 7 children and 28 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 35
Equation 2: 6a + c = 70
C. 28 children and 7 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 35
Equation 2: 6a + c = 70
D. 28 children and 7 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 35
Equation 2: 6a − c = 70
