Lauryn owns a computer company that employs men and women in different positions in the company. How many men does he employ if there are 20 fewer men than women and 180 people working for Lauryn?
Let's say the number of men working at the company is x.
Since there are 180 people, and the number of men is 20 fewer than the number of women, then x+x+20 = 180
The total number of employees in the company is 2x+20 = 180
2x=180-20
2x=160
The number of men is x=160/2
There are x=80 men in the company.
