This one is really hard lol!

anonymous · Answer

let x represent the females
the males are represented by this equation 2x+20
you know that the males+the females=80, so plug in the info you know
x+2x+20=80
3x=60
females=20
subtract that by 80 and you get 60 that is how many males are employed....i think...makes sense?
