There were 130 faculty at a conference. If there were 18 more women than men attending, how many of each gender attended the conference?

the number of men be 56

And, the number of women be 74

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of each genders attended the conference is shown below;

Let us assume the number of men be x

And, the number of women be y

Now the equations would be

x + y = 130 (1)

And,

y = 18 + x (2)

Now put the y value in the equation 1

x + 18 + x = 130

2x = 130 - 18

2x = 112

x = 56

Now the y is

= 18 + 56

= 74

So, the number of men be 56

And, the number of women be 74
