Answer:
- 71 in House of Representatives
- 17 in Senate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...
h + s = 88
h - s = 54
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
(h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)
2s = 34 . . . . . simplify
s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2
h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation
There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.
