Question 1136825
total spectators were 579.
123 were kids.
there were twice many men as women.


let m equal the number of men and w equal the number of women.


123 + m + w = 579.


subtract 123 from both sides of this equation to get m + w = 579 - 123.


simplify to get m + w = 456.


you are given that there were twice as meny men as women.


that makes m = 2w


replace m with 2w in the equation of m + w = 456 to get 2w + w = 456.


combine like terms to get 3w = 456.


solve for w to get w = 456 / 3 = 152.


since there were twice as many men as women, then m = 2 * 152 = 304.


total was 123 kids plus 304 men plus 152 women = 579.


304 = 2 * 152.


solution is confirmed to be good.


solution is that 304 men attended the match.
