Question

For the given problems in context, (i) set up and solve the algebraic statement (ii) evaluate the problem. (a) There were 579 patients infected with COVID-19 at a hospital. Of these patients, 123 were children and there were twice as many men as women. How many women who have become infected with the coronavirus were in the hospital?

Answer 1

Total number of people infected=579
Number of children infected= 123
Let x be number of men infected and 2x be number of women infected
We find the values of x
123+x+2x=579
3x=456
x=152
Number of women infected will be x which is equal to 152
