A Broadway musical was attended by a total of 2,838 people, including men, women, and children. The number of women who attended the event was 5 more than 3 times the number of children, while the number of men was 3 less than 4 times the number of women. Write an equation to model this situation. Then, use the equation to find the number of men, women, and children who attended the musical.

Create a new situation that can be modeled using the same equation.

Respuesta :

2838=total
Women = 3X +5
Men = 4(3x+5)-3
Children= x

Men= 12x+17

Total= 16X +23

16x + 23 = 2838

16x = 2815

X = 2815/16
