what’s ur question
oh yeah
an explanation
males = x
female=2x
(1/4 x 2x) + (3/8 x 2x) = 84
simplify
(1/2 x ) + (3/8x) = 84
make common denominator
(4/8 x) + (3/8 x) = 84
7/8 x = 84
multiply both sides by 8 to get 7x (get rid of denominator)
7x=672
x=96
now we know x=96
to find out the total number of we must find total number of ppl which is 3x (2x+x) and sub in 96 for x.
3(96) = 288
@stuck sage
if u don’t get anything lmk
remember total number of people is males + females (2x+x) that’s why i’ve done 3(96)
stuck sage
males = x
female=2x
(1/4 x 2x) + (3/8 x 2x) = 84
simplify
(1/2 x ) + (3/8x) = 8...
whyd you multiple both fractions by 2x
whoops 3/8 should only be multiplied by x
mb
yeah
the rest of the answer is right as i corrected myself
cheers

whyd you multiply 1/4 by 2x
stuck sage
whyd you multiply 1/4 by 2x
bc number of females are 2x and we know 1/4 of them wear glasses so we multiply them to find out how many females wear glasses
