    Step-by-step explanation:

    m + w + c = 180

    w = 3m

    c = m + 5

    m + (3m) + (m + 5) = 180

    5m + 5 = 180

    5m = 180 - 5

    5m = 175

    m = 175/5

    m = 35 <== = 35 men

    w = 3m

    w = 3 (35)

    w = 105 <== = 105 women

    c = m + 5

    c = 35 + 5

    c = 40 <== = 40 children
