Question 483636
The number of men attending Western Tech is 200 less than twice the number of women. The number of students at the school is 280. How man men attend? How many woman attend?
.
Let w = number of women
then
2w-200 = number of men
.
w + 2w-200 = 280
3w-200 = 280
3w = 480
w = 160 (women)
.
Men:
2w-200 = 2(160)-200 = 320-200 = 120 (men)
