Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step 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      ;)
