The population of linton is 12 times as great as the population of elmore the combined population of both towns is 9,646 people what is the population of linton

Let the population of Elmore be "X".
Since that the population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore, then it is considered to be "12x".
Since that the sum of both Elmore and Linton is 9.646, then "X + 12x = 9464" x+12x is 13x , so it should be "13x = 9464". Now, it is easy to find the population of Elmore which is 9464 / 13 = 742. Since that the population of Linton is 12 times the population of Elmore, then the population of Linton is "742 * 12 = 8904".

9,646/13 (12+1) = 742, 742*12=8,904

Population of Elmore = 8,904
Population of Lintone = 742
