You can put this solution on YOUR website! There were 6 more women on a committee than men. If the committee was made up of 30 people, how many men were on the committee?
-------------------
Let # of men be "x"
Then # of women is "x+6"
----
Equation:
x + x+6 = 30
2x = 24
x = 12 (# OF MEN)
x + 6 = 18 (# of Women)
