Abroadway musical was attended by a total of 2,838 people, including men, women, and children. the number of women who attended the event was 5 more than 3 times the number of children, while the number of men was 3 less than 4 times the number of women. write an equation to model this situation. then, use the equation to find the number of men, women, and children who attended the musical.

M + w + c = 2838
w = 3c + 5
m = 4w - 3...4(3c + 5) - 3

4(3c + 5) - 3 + 3c + 5 + c = 2838
12c + 20 - 3 + 3c + 5 + c = 2838
16c + 22 = 2838
16c = 2838 - 22
16c = 2816
c = 2816/16
c = 176

w = 3c + 5
w = 3(176) + 5
w = 528 + 5
w = 533

m = 4w - 3
m = 4(533) - 3
m = 2132 - 3
m = 2129

check...
m + w + c = 2838
2129 + 533 + 176 = 2838
2838 = 2838 (correct)

men attending (m) = 2129
women attending (w) = 533
children attending (c) = 176

All points to the left of zero on a horizontal number line are negative. a number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers. this number line can be extended to the left to represent numbers which are smaller than 0. such numbers are called negative numbersmark me brainliest
