Problema Solution
316 people had voted in an election. The number of republican voters was 6 more than two-thirds the number of democrats. How meant republicans and how many democrats voted?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of democratic voters, then '(2/3)x + 6' represents the number of republican voters and we have this equation:
316 = x + (2/3)x + 6
solving for 'x' we have x=186
316-186 = 130
130 republicans and 186 democrats voted
