Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of the problem, let's make female workers "x" and male workers "y".
x+y<40 This equation shows that the total number of workers has a max of 40.
30x+20y<1,000 This equation shows that the total cost the manager pays ($30 to each woman, $20 to each man) has a max of $1,000.
Now you can solve for x and y.
X+y<40
-y -y
X<-y+40
Substitute -y+40 in for X in the second equation
30(-y+40)+20y<1,000
-30y+1200+20y<1,000 Distribute
-10y+1,200<1,000 Combine like terms
-10y<-200 Subtract 1,200
y>20 Divide by -10; flip the sign
Since y>20, and y=male workers, you now know that the minimum
number of male workers he should send is 20
Division is repeated subtraction, just like multiplication is repeated addition. If you divide 50 by 10, you get 5. This is also the question: How many times do you have to subtract 10 from 50 to get 0?

4y - 20.......u need to find a common factor that can go into 4y and 20.....the only common factor is 4. So u can factor that out.....4 goes into 4 one time (but do not forget the y) and 4 goes into 20 five times....4(y - 5)
4(y - 5)...u can also check ur answer by distributing the 4 through the parenthesis and getting 4 * y - 4 * 5 = 4y - 20
