Answer with explanation:

Total number of Children = x Children

Total number of chocolates distributed = y Chocolates

If there are x children, then total number of chocolate got by children= 5 x Chocolate

Number of chocolate got by Adults= 20

Let total number of adults be z.

Expressing the statement in terms of Equation

y = 5 x + 20 z


z=(y-5 x)/(20)

Number of Adults =z


=(y-5 x)/(20)
