Question

There are a total of 64 students in a drama club and a yearbook club .The drama club has 10 more students than the yearbook club . Find the system or equations

Answer 1

Answer:

x + y = 64

x + 10 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it isn't asking for the solutions, I won't solve.

let y represent drama students, and x represent the yearbook students.

We know that  DS (drama students) plus YS (Yearbook students) equals 64 students in total. To write this mathematically you would write x(YS)+ y(DS) = 64 (Students in total) except just x + y = 64.

The second part of this system explains what y is.

We know that the drama club has 10 more students than yearbook students, so YS plus 10 equals the amount of DS. To write this mathematically you would write x + 10 = y.

Combine the two systems by writing

x + y = 64

x + 10 = y

P.S. Let me know if you need the system solved.
