• 700

• 2200

• 1500

• 5050

Which mathematical concept is used to represent the problem of finding the number of children and adults?

• Probability Theory

• Differential Equations

• Linear Systems

• Quadratic Equations

What is the recommended method for solving linear systems in code according to the lecture?
