Let's represent the number of Republican senators as "x" and the number of Democratic senators as "x + 2". The total number of senators is 100, so we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 2) = 100
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 2 = 100
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
2x = 98
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 49
Therefore, there were 49 Republican senators (x) and 49 + 2 = 51 Democratic senators in the US Senate after the election.
The us senate has 100 members after a certain election there were 2 more democrats than republicans with no other parties represented how many members were of each party were there in the senate
