Question

In a certain county, the number of Charter Schools is ten less than twice the number of Alternative Schools. We know that there are 46 Charter Schools in the county. How many Alternative Schools are in the county?

28

56

18

40

Answer 1

lets make variable C for charter schools and A for alternative school. from the question C= 2A-10. and there are 46 for charter schools right? so lets put that 46 into C. so 46= 2a-10 and then add the 10 to the 46 which gives you 56=2A then divide by 2 so it gives you 28 as the answer.
