An apartment building currently has rented x apartments with two occupants and 16 apartments with one occupant. the apartment building has 92 total occupants.

2× + 16 = 92

how many double-occupancy apartments are currently rented?

38 double-occupancy apartments are currently rented

Solution:

Given that, apartment building currently has rented x apartments with two occupants and 16 apartments with one occupant

Number of apartments with one occupant = 16

Number of apartments with two occupants = x

The apartment building has 92 total occupants

Therefore, we frame a equation as,

Number of apartments with one occupant + 2 x Number of apartments with two occupants = 92

16 + 2x = 92

Solve the above equation for "x"

2x = 92 - 16

2x = 76

x = 38

Thus 38 double-occupancy apartments are currently rented
