Question

n a certain county, the number of charter schools is 10 less than twice the number of alternative schools. We know that there are 46 charter schools in the county. How many alternative schools are in the county?

Answer 1

13 because half of 46 is 23 and u subtract 10 so it is 13

Answer 2

Lets call charter c and alternative a.

c = 2a - 10
c = 46

So 46 = 2a - 10

56 = 2a

a = 28
