    Step-by-step explanation:

    Set up a system:

    C + A = 105

    C = 2A

    Substitute:

    3A = 105

    A = 35

    C = 70

    70 children 35 adults

    Step-by-step explanation:

    X = children

    Y=Adults

    x+y=105

    1/2x=y

    x+y=105

    1/2x-y+0

    x+y+105

    x-2y=0

    3y=105

    y=35

    x+35=105

    x=70
