Question

A total of 492 men and women are at a baseball game. There are 84 more men than women at the baseball game. If a represents the number of men at the baseball game and b represents the number of women at the baseball game, which system of equations could be used to find the number of men and the number of women at the baseball game?

Answer 1

Answer:
B
a + b = 492
a = b + 84

Step-by-step explanation:
We have number of men is a and number of women is b
We are given that:
Total number of men and women is 492. This means that:
a + b = 492 .........> equation I
There are 84 more men than women. This means that:
a = b + 84 .......> equation II

Comparing these equation to the choices, we will find that the right choice is B

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

a = men

b = women

so a+b = 492

84 more men (a) then women (b)

so a = b +84

Answer is B
