There are 14 democrats and 5 republicans, 14+5=19

Answer:

The number of the Democrats are 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of Republicans are x.

As given

A committee in Congress is made up of 19 members, and there are 9 more Democrats than Republicans on it.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

9 + x + x = 19

9 + 2x = 19

2x = 19 - 9

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

The number of Republicans are 5.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + 5

                                       = 14

Therefore the number of the Democrats are 14 .

Best Method using system of equations<br><br><br> x=4y+8<br> 2x-8y=-3
Mkey [24]
In this case, since one equation is in the form of x=, substitution would be best for this problem.  Simply plug in 4y + 8 in place of x in the second equation, solve for y, then plug that value into the first equation to find x.
