Asked by Josie

There are 41 students in group 2. Twice as many students play the trumpet as play the trombone, but 8 students play the saxophone. How many students in Group 2 play each instrument? Endless thanks
Answered by Reiny
number of students playing no sax = 41-8 = 33

number of those playing trombone --- x
number of those playing trumpet ---- 2x

x + 2x = 33
3x=33
x = 11

sax -- 8
trombone -- 11
trumpet ---- 33

check to see if all conditions are met
Answered by Alabama
Your wrong bc your answers do not add up to 41 at the end.
The answer is
Sax - 8
Trumpet - 22
Trombone -11

8+22+11= 41

I agree Alabama but either way they tried, no? Let's try not to get on each other's nerves okay? It's all just a simple mistake. I hope you all have a good day!
