Answer:
Number of males = 6
Number of females = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Total friends kalyn invited to her party = 24
The number of female friends was 6 more than twice the number of her male friends.
Let
Number of male friends at the party = x
Number of female friends at the party = 2x + 6
Equations that can be used to find the number of male and female friends
Total people at the party = Number of male friends + Number of female friends
24 = x + (2x+6)
24 = x + 2x + 6
Subtract 6 from both sides
24 - 6 = x + 2x + 6 - 6
18 = x + 2x
18 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 18 / 3
= 6
x = 6
Number of males = 6
Number of females = 2x + 6
= 2(6) + 6
= 12 + 6
= 18
Total people at the party= 6 + 18
= 24
