Respuesta :

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

h represents highschool members

m represents middle school members

42 = h+m

h = 2m-6

Substitute h for 2m-6 in first equation:

42 = (2m-6)+m

Solve for m:

42 =3m-6

48 = 3m

m = 16

Subsitute 16 for m in second equation:

h = 2(16)-6

Solve for h:

h = 32-6

h = 26
