A total of 32 people are in a room. The number of men is 4 less than twice the number of women. How many women are in the room?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Let M be the number of men and W be the number of women. We have M + W = 32 and M = 2W - 4. Substitute the second equation into the first: (2W - 4) + W = 32. This simplifies to 3W - 4 = 32, so 3W = 36. Therefore, W = 12.
