Sparrow ball

On the sparrow's ball were males and females. There were 160 sparrows. Males were 24 more than females. How many sparrow females were at a ball?

Correct answer:

b =  68

Step-by-step explanation:

160=a+b a=24+b  160=24+b+b b=216024=68

160 = a+b
a = 24 + b

a+b = 160
a-b = 24

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
a+b = 160
-2b = -136


b = -136/-2 = 68
a = 160-b = 160-68 = 92

a = 92
b = 68
