I'd start with setting up the equations. Calling x the number of students in most popular country 1, and y in country 2.
x + y = 44740
x - y = 5672
now solve for x1 and x2. You can subtract second from first:
0 + 2y = 39068
y = 19534
so
x = 5672 + 19534 = 25206
Add a sentence to answer it in words.
Answer:
Move all terms that don't contain y to the right side and solve.y=4−6x/5

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
√(2x − 1) + 2 = x
√(2x − 1) = x − 2
2x − 1 = (x − 2)²
2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4
0 = x² − 6x + 5
0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)
x = 1 or 5
Check for extraneous solutions.
√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1
√(1) + 2 = 1
3 = 1
No solution
√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5
√(9) + 2 = 5
5 = 5
x = 5
