Solution:
We can solve the problem by setting up a few equations. First let’s define some variables.
m = number of men on the board
w = number of women on the board
We are given that there are 4 more women than men on the board. Let’s express this in an equation.
w = m + 4
We are also given that there are a total of 10 members on the board. Let’s express this in an equation.
m + w = 10
Since w = m + 4, we can substitute m + 4 for w into the equation m + w = 10 and we have:
m + m + 4 = 10
2m = 6
m = 3
Since m + w = 10, we know that 3 + w = 10 or w = 7.
