Question

In a large lecture class, there were 53 more men than women. If there were 329 students in the class, how many were in the class......

Answer 1

let m = number of male and w = women

it says there were 53 more men than women so

m = 53 + w

does that help?

Answer 2

329=w+w+53
276=2w
woment=138

Answer 3

what about 53 (men) + x = 329

Answer 4

and men would be whatever 329-138 is

Answer 5

still confused

Answer 6

wait...if your question is "how many were in the class" wouldn't it just be 329 because you said there were 329 students in class?

Answer 7

if there were 329 students in the class, how many women were in the class?
