Answer:

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
