Question 9 (1 point)

In the middle school PTA there is a total of 47 men and women. The number of women the PTA is 2 more than four times the number of men. How many women are in the

PTA?

Let the number of men = x

Let the number of women = y

x + y = 47

y = 2 + 4x

We substitute

x + 2 + 4x = 47

Collect like terms

5x = 47 - 2

5x = 45

x = 45/5 = 9

y = 2 + 4x

y = 2 + 4 × 9

y = 2 + 36

y = 38

Therefore, the number of women = y = 38 women
