Question

In a class, 42 students, there are 8 more boys than girls write and solve a system of 3 equations

Answer 1

x = 17

Explanation:

x + x + 8 = 42 because x = boys and x + 8 = girls

2x = 34 because 2x = 42 - 8

x = 17

i hope this helps! you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation ;)
