At a concert there were 25 more women than men. The total number of people at the concert was 139. Find the number of women and the number of men at the concert.
Let men be m and women be w. We're given two equations.
m + m + 25 = 139
To solve for m, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
m = 57
To find w, we substitute m = 57 into equation (1):
w = 57 + 25
w = 82
Let men be m and women be w. We're given two equations.
- w = m + 25
- m + w = 139
m + m + 25 = 139
To solve for m, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
m = 57
To find w, we substitute m = 57 into equation (1):
w = 57 + 25
w = 82
