1600 children and 1400 adults attended

How to determine the number of adults?

Let the children be x and adult be y.

So, we have the following equations:

x + y = 3000

1.5x + 5y = 9400

Make x the subject in x + y = 3000

x = 3000 - y

Substitute x = 3000 - y  in 1.5x + 5y = 9400

1.5(3000 - y) + 5y = 9400

Expand

4500 - 1.5y + 5y = 9400

Evaluate the like terms

3.5y = 4900

Divide both sides by 3.5

y = 1400

Substitute y = 1400 in x = 3000 - y

x = 3000 - 1400

Evaluate

x = 1600

Hence, 1600 children and 1400 adults attended
