Question

Voting An appropriations bill passes the U.S. House of Representatives with 49 more members voting in favor than against. If all 435 members of the House vote for or against the bill, how many voted in favor and how many voted against?

Answer 1

Answer:

242 members voted in favor while 193 members voted against

Step-by-step explanation:

Let those that voted against be x will those in favor will be (x+49)

Since today number of voters is 435

To find x

X + (x+49) = 435

2x + 49 = 435

2x = 435 - 49

2x = 386

X = 386/2

X = 193

Therefore, those against is 193 while this in favor is 193+49 = 242
