(This is algebra)

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

144/(n-3) = 16

144 = 16(n-3)

144 = 16n - 48

192 = 16n

n = 12

144/12 = 12 coins each

144/9 = 16 coins each

there are 12 children

Answer 2

Answer:

144/n-3

144=16

144 =16n -48

192=16n

= n 12

144 ÷12 = 12 coins each

144÷9 = 16 coins each

there are 12 children
