Question 851116
<pre>
A tennis club has 48 members. If there are 22 fewer males than females how many females are there

Solution:
Let number of males be x
Then number of females = x + 22

Total members = x + x + 22 = 48

i.e. {{{2*x + 22 = 48}}} 
{{{2*x = 48 - 22 = 26}}} or {{{x = 13}}}
So number of males = {{{highlight(13)}}} and number of females = {{{highlight(35)}}}

Hope this helps :)
