Answer 1

Answer:

2x+3y=60

60/3=20

60/2=30

hence the children are 15 and adults is 10

Answer 2

Manoj distributed apples to 15 orphanage and 10 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children = x and the number of adults = y

Manoj donated 2 apples to each children and 3 apples to each adult.

∴ number of apples donated to children = 2x

Number of apples donated to adults = 3y

He distributed total 60 apples.

∴ 2x + 3y = 60

Since the value of x and y can not be in the form of a fraction,

Therefore, value of x = 15 and value of y = 10 are the possible values only.

Manoj distributed apples to 15 orphanage and 10 adults.
