There are 30 students in Mrs. Taylor's kindergarten class. If there are twice as many students with blond hair as with blue eyes

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let e represent the number of students with blue eyes. Then the number of students with blond hair is 2e. The total number of students is ...

3 + e + 2e -6 = 30

We subtracted 6 because the expressions e and 2e cause the 6 students with both blond hair and blue eyes to be counted twice.

3e = 33 . . . . add 3 and simplify

e = 11

11 students have blue eyes.
