Answer:

  • 12 babies
  • 4 adults

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult dinosaurs. Then 3x is the number of babies. The total number of paintings is ...

15(3x) +7(x) = 208

52x = 208 . . . . . . . . . simplify

x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 52

3x = 4·3 = 12

There were 12 baby dinosaurs and 4 adult dinosaurs.
