In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.
Let's say that children = c and adults = a
30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960
I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.
a + c = 960
- c - c
---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
a = 960 - c
20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 8c = 19,080
- 19,200 - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
8c = -120 into the opposite equation.
------ ---------
8 8
c = -15
30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
30a - 180 = 19,080
+ 180 + 180
-------------------------------
30a = 19,260
------- -----------
30 30
a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.
Answer: 60 kilometers
If the average speed for the trip of 80 kilometers per hour, and the time of the trip was 45 minutes, then the distance between the two jungles is 60 kilometers.
45 minutes is three-quarters of an hour, or 0.75. I multiplied this decimal by 80 to get 60, the distance between Jungle A and Jungle B.
