Answer

UNH has 10591 students, while UTEP has 19,205 students,

Work Step by Step

We first write the two equations given the information provided in the problem: $ N + T = 29,796$ $ T = 2N-1977$ We now solve: $(29,796-N) = 2N-1977$ This gives: $N = 10,591$ We substitute back into the other equation to find: $ T = 19,205$
