Question

The number of rooms at hotel g is 10 less than twice the number of rooms at hotel h. if the total number of rooms at hotel g and hotel h is 415, what is the number of rooms at hotel g? *

Answer 1

We have the equation: rg = 2 x rh - 10 and rg + rh = 415;
We solve them: rg = 2 x rh - 10 and rg = 415 - rh;
Then, 2 x rh -10 = 415 - rh;
Finally, 3 x rh = 425;
rh = 425 ÷ 3;
rh = 141,66 (the number of rooms at hotel h). There is something wrong with this number and there is something wrong with the this problem!!!
