there are twice as many women as men in the union at global products altogether ,84 workers at the plant are union members . how many of them are women ?

f= 28

so f+2f=84
28+2*28=84
28+56=84
56 women

56

f/2=m

f+f/2=84
(2f+f)/2=84 f=56

F=2M

F+M=84

solve for F

no idea?

Using Bobpursley's equations --

F + 2F = 84
3F = 84

F = ?

Right.
