Question

in a certain county, the number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools. We know that there are 48 charter schools in the county. How many alternative schools are in the county?

Answer 1

There are
`26` alternative schools in the country

Explanation:

Let

x------> the number of charter schools

y-----> the number of alternative schools

we know that

`x=48`

`x=2y-4` -----> equation A

substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y

`48=2y-4`

`2y=48+4`

`2y=52`

`y=26`
