1 answer:

3 0

The number of boys . . . . . B
Twice the number of boys . . . 2B
4 more than twice the number of boys . . . 2B+4

You said that the number of girls is equal to that, so . . . G = 2B+4

But you also told us what G is: 16 = 2B+4

Subtract 4 from each side: 12 = 2B

Divide each side by 2 : 6 = B

There you have it. There are 6 boys in the club.

One number was divided by 2, followed by this quotient being multiplied by 4. next, the product was added to 9. the total sum wa

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

$\frac{n}{2}$

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

$\frac{n}{2}$ *4

the product was added to 9

$\frac{n}{2}$ *4+9

the total sum was 25

$\frac{n}{2}$ *4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

$\frac{n}{2}$ *4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8
