Question

Twice as many men as women attended the concert. If the total attendance was 714, how many women

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually pretty simple. If x= a person, then 2x is men, and x is women.

You just have to solve for x.

714=2x+x

714=3x

x=238

Then you have to multiply it back out.

Men: 476

Women: 238

I hope this helps!

If you need help with anything else, or this answer just doesn't make sense, just let me know!

Answer 2

X+2x=714. (x being the number of women attending) the equation then simplifies to 3x=714. then solve 714/3=238 so x=238 so 238 women attended the concert. (and 476 men)
