Answer:
3m == 5w, that means for such unit, there is a 2 person difference
30 person difference = 30/2 = 15units
and again one unit means 3m and 5w
so 15*3men, and 15*5women
and you can check the difference is 30
Since the two measures are vertical angles, you want to set them equal to each other :
6x+7=8x-17
-6x -6x
——————
7=2x-17
+17 +17
———————
24= 2x
X= 12
———
The answer is 12.
And what else is in the problem I do not get what the problem is
LW = 45
L + 2W = 19
L = 19-2W
substituting for L :-
W(19-2W) = 45
-2W^2 + 19W = 45
2W^2 - 19W + 45 = 0
W = 5 or 4.5
If W = 5, L = 9
If W = 4.5, L = 10
So there are 2 possible answers.
