7651 people went to a food exhibition. There were 160 children and twice as many men as women.How many men were there at the food exhibition?
-------------------
w + m + c = 7651
c = 160
m = 2w
----------------------------
w + 2w + 160 = 7651
---------------------
3w = 7491
----
# of women = 2497
# of men = 2*w = 4994
