A total of 330 children and adults attended a school play. There were 21 times as many children in attendance as there were adults.

This situation is modeled by the given system of equations, where a represents the number of adults and c represents the number of children.

c = 21a

a + c = 330

How many children attended the play?

315 children

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 21a = 330 {substituted 21a, in for c, into second equation}

22a = 330 {combined like terms}

a = 15 {divided each side by 22}

15 adults attended

c = 21a {first original equation}

c = 21(15) {substituted 15,

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
