To determine the number of women at the tennis match, we first need to subtract the number of children from the total number of spectators.
Total spectators - Number of children = Number of women
Given that there were 600 spectators and 144 children:
Number of women = 600 spectators - 144 children
Now, we are told that there were twice as many women as children. So, the number of women is twice the number of children:
Number of women = 2 * Number of children
Substituting the previous equation, we get:
600 spectators - 144 children = 2 * Number of children
Now, we can solve this equation to find the number of women:
600 spectators - 144 children = 2 * 144 children
456 spectators = 288 children
Finally, we can substitute the number of children into the equation "Number of women = 2 * Number of children" to find the number of women:
Number of women = 2 * 144 children
Number of women = 2 * 288 children
Number of women = 576
Therefore, there were 576 women at the tennis match.
