Sites in California = 19.
Need to find the number of hazardous waste sites in Washington.
Let the number of hazardous waste sites in Washington = x
the number of hazardous waste sites in California = 2x - 3
19 = 2x - 3
19 + 3 = 2x
22 = 2x
2x = 22
x = 11
Therefore, In Washington, there were 11 federal hazardous watse sites.
