Asked by ariel

ok this is in my practice book. there are 33 students in the chess club. there are five more boys than girls in the club. write and solve a system of equations to find the number of boys and girls in the chess club?
Answered by bobpursley
B+G=33
B-5=G

or
B+G=33
B-G=5

then solve. I would solve by adding the equations, or
2B=38 then solve.
Answered by Ms. Sue
x + x + 5 = 33

2x = 33 - 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Proof:

14 + 19 = 33
