thirty-sit people are registered for an evening class. if twice as many men as women are registered for the class, how many men are registered?

1)24
2)18
3)12
4)6
5)not enought information

m = 2w

m + w = 36
2w + w = 36
3w = 36
w = 12
then m = 24

m= men

w = woman
(just to let you know) hehe

To find the number of men registered for the class, we first need to find the number of women registered.

Let's assume the number of women registered is 'x'.

According to the given information, twice as many men as women are registered for the class. So, the number of men registered will be 2 times the number of women.

Therefore, the number of men registered will be 2x.

The total number of people registered for the class is 30, so the equation would be:

x + 2x = 30

Combining like terms, the equation becomes:

3x = 30

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

So, the number of women registered for the class is 10.

Now, to find the number of men registered, substitute the value of x back into the equation:

2x = 2 * 10 = 20

Therefore, there are 20 men registered for the evening class.

Based on the options provided, the correct answer is option 5) not enough information since the number of men registered is not given.
