Answer 9

A lil confusing :\ im not sure on how to sovle it

Answer 10

First let x be the number of female
Since 'number of males is 20 more than twice the number of females'
number of male = 20 + 2x
Understand this part?

Answer 11

Sorry I have to go.. so i leave you some explanations here for the answer..

Then, from 'has a total of 140 males and females who are employed at the park'
you know no. of male + no of female = 140
So (2x+20) + x =140
Then solve for x

After that, find the no of male by putting the value of x into 2x+20

Answer 12

Is it 100?

Answer 13

Steps for solving x :
(2x+20) + x =140
2x + x +20 = 140
3x =120
x = 120 /3

And yes, your answer should be correct
