Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer: 12, 9
Discussion:
Let x be the first number and y the second number. The form the problem statement:
x + y = 21
x - y = 3
Add the two equations. This gives:
(x + x ) + ( y-y) = 21 + 3 =>
2x + 0 = 24 =>
x = 12
Since x -y =3, substituting in the value of x gives, 12 - y = 3 so y = 9
Thank you,

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children, then
number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c
Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266
4c + 2c + c = 266, that is
7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )
c = 38
Thus
4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76
The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
