Answer provided by our tutors
let
h = the number of home team fans
a = the number of away team fans
75 people attended a baseball game
a + h = 75
Everyone there was a fan if either the home team or the away team. The number of home team fans was 90 less than 4 times the number of away team fans:
h = 4a - 90
by solving the system of equations
a + h = 75
h = 4a - 90
we find
a = 33 away team fans
h = 42 home team fans
