Question

The teacher separated her class of thirty-three students into two groups. One group has 3 more than twice as many students as the other group. Use variable s for the group with less students.

Answer 1

Consider, number of student in 1st group =s

then, number of student in 2nd group = 2s+3

Total students = 33

so, s+2s+3 = 33

3s=30

s=10

(2s+3) =23
