According to the given statement, there were 58 children, 29 adults and 64 students.

What is an equation?

Algebraically speaking, an equation is indeed a statement that establishes the equivalence of two mathematical equations.

Briefing:

Let there be x number of children, y number of students and x/2 number of adults. Forming the first equation based on number of students -

x + y + x/2 = 151 : Equation 1

Multiply equation 1 with 2

2x + 2y + x = 302 : Equation 2

3x + 2y = 302 : Equation 3

y = (302 - 3x)/2 : Equation 4

Forming second equation based on cost -

5x + 7y + 12x/2 = 1086 : Equation 5

Rewriting this equation

5x + 7y + 6x = 1086 : Equation 6

11x + 7y = 1086 : Equation 7

Keep the value of y from equation 4 in equation 7

11x + 7(302 - 3x)/2 = 1086

11x + (2114 - 21x)/2 = 1086

22x + 2114 - 21x = 2172

x = 2172 - 2114

x = 58

Now,

y = (302 - 3x)/2

y = (302 - 3×58)/2

y = 128/2

y = 64

Number of adults = 58/2

Number of adults = 29

Thus, there were 58 children, 29 adults and 64 students.
