People enjoyed attending the concert in the park.

Twice as many men as women attended the concert.
If the total attendance was 714, how many women
attended the concert?

Let the number of women = X

Twice as many men atteneded so men would be 2x


Now we have X +2x = 714


Add X and 2x to get 3X


3X = 714


Divide both sides by 3:

X = 714 / 3

X = 238 women attended the concert.
