Answer:

105 women

Step-by-step explanation:

8 to 5, sooo \/

8x + 5x = 273

13x = 273

x=273/13

x=21

8*21 = 168 men

5*21 = 105 women

(to check we can add 168 and 105 together and make sure we get 273. We do!)

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

x = 27

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4x + 10 = 3x + 37

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract 3x on both sides:                    x + 10 = 37
  2. Subtract 10 on both sides:                     x = 27

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    4(27) + 10 = 3(27) + 37
  2. Multiply:                        108 + 10 = 81 + 37
  3. Add:                               118 = 118

And we have our final answer!
