Each baby dinosaur made 15 paintings and each adult dinosaur made 7 paintings. The entire herd made 208 paintings in total, and there were 3 times as many baby dinosaurs as adult dinosaurs.

Respuesta :

12 babies
4 adults. 

Use the following system of equations:

x - 3y = 0 
15x + 7y = 208

Answer:

Adult dinosaurs=4

Baby Dinosaurs=12

Step-by-step explanation:

You only have to put an X to a certain number, in this case it will be like this:

Adult dinosaurs=x

Baby Dinosaurs= 3x

So the equation will be:

15(3x)+7(x)=208

You multiply it and add it and it will end up like this:

52x=208

x=4

So there were 4 adult dinosaurs.

And baby dinosaurs there are 3x which equals 12.
