Problema Solution
the number of students who study computer is twice the number who study economics.the total number of students enrolled in these courses is greater than 600.find the number of students who study economics.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of students that study computer
y = the number of students that study economics
the number of students who study computer is twice the number who study economics:
x = 2y
the total number of students enrolled in these courses is greater than 600:
x + y >= 600
plug x = 2y into the inequality
2y + y > 600
by solving we find:
y > 200
click here to see the step by step solution of the inequality:
x > 2*200
x > 400
the number of students studying economics is greater than 600.
