Answer:
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
