There are 33 students in the Chess Club. There are five more boys than girls in the club. Write and solve a system of equations

to find the number of boys and girls in the Chess Club.
My question is this, do I have the right equation to figure this problem?

Boys 5(x) =33
Girls = x

x+5(x)=33
6x =33
6/6. 33/6



x=5.5 this is where I'm lost. What do I do next? Or, do I have it all wrong?

<span>There are 33 students in the Chess Clubs. There are 5 more boys than girls in the club.
Now, the equation will be like this
girls = x
boys = x + 5
x + 5x = 33
let’s solve for X
=>  x + (x + 5) = 33
=> 2x + 5 = 33
=> 2x = 33 - 5
=> 2x /2 = 28 / 2
=> x = 14
Thus the number are:
girls = 14
boys = 14 + 5 = 19
=> 19 + 14 = 33</span>

Solve the equation -4 + 4a = 12 for a.
WARRIOR [948]

Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.

To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.

Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.

-4+4 + 4a = 12+4

4a = 16

Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.

4/4a = 16/4

a = 4

Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.

-4 + 4(4) = 12

-4 + 16 = 12

12 = 12

Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)
