Question

in a certain county, the number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools. We know that there are 48 charter schools in the county. How many alternative schools are in the county?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are $26$ alternative schools in the country

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of charter schools

y----->  the number of alternative schools

we know that

$x=48$

$x=2y-4$ -----> equation A

substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y

$48=2y-4$

$2y=48+4$

$2y=52$

$y=26$
