Answer:
There were 500 children and 1500 adults.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of children be x and adults be y.
x + y = 2000
5x + 10y = 17500
x + y = 2000
y = 2000 - x
Substituting the value of y in equation 2.
5x + 10(2000 - x) = 17500
5x + 20000 - 10x = 17500
5x - 10x = 17500 -20000
-5x = -2500
x = 500
x + y = 2000
500 + y = 2000
y = 1500
