Question

In a certain county, the number of Charter Schools is ten less than twice the number of Alternative Schools. We know that there are 46 Charter Schools in the county. How many Alternative Schools are in the county?

Answer 1

To answer the question, let x be the number of Alternative Schools. With this, the number of Charter Schools is 2x - 10. The equation that represents the situation is,
2x - 10 = 46
The value of x from the equation is 28. Thus, there are 28 Alternative schools in that country.
