There are 48 people in the Children's Palace Calligraphy Team and Chorus Team. The number of chorus is 2 less than 65438+the calligraphy team is 0.5 times. How many people are there in the calligraphy team and the chorus? With equations? Solution: If there are X people in the calligraphy team, then there are (48-x) people in the chorus.

∴48-x= 1.5x-2

48+2= 1.5x+x

2.5x=50

X=50÷2.5=20 (person)

A: There are 20 calligraphers and 28 choirs.
