    Let x = baby dinosaurs

    y = adult dinosaurs

    equation 1

    total paintings = 15 painting x + 7 paintings y

    equation 2

    baby dinosaurs = 3 times adult

    x = 3y

    substitute x = 3y to equation 1

    y = 4

    x = 12

    There are 12 baby dinosaurs and 4 adult dinosaurs in a herd with 208 total paintings
