Team one had twice as many workers as team two. the number of workers in team one is reduced by 5 and the number of workers in team two is reduced by 2. how many workers are there in each team now if there are 7 more workers in team one?

let

x> workers in team one initially

y> workers in team two initially

we know that

x=2y> equation 1

(x-5)=(y-2)+7> x-5= y+5> x=y+10> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

2y=y+10> y=10

x=2*10> x=20

Answer

Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to isolate the variables AND THEN divide by 6x.
