Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by making the table below to show the given numbers (red) and to assign a variable (x) to <em>the number we want to find: female PhDs</em>.
By subtracting the female numbers from the totals, we can find the corresponding numbers of male PhDs and non-PhDs.
The number of male non-PhDs is twice the number of male PhDs, so we have ...
2(14 -x) = 20 -x
28 -2x = 20 -x . . . . eliminate parentheses
8 = x . . . . . . . . . . . .add 2x-20
The number of female faculty with PhDs is 8.
