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>

What is the answer to 6/5= 2/5n and tell me how you got the answer
alina1380 [7]
\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5} n

First, simplify \frac{2}{5} n to \frac{2n}{5} / Your problem should look like: \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2n}{5} 
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: 6 = 2n
Third, divide both sides by 2. / Your problem should look like: \frac{6}{2} = n
Fourth, simplify \frac{6}{2} to 3. / Your problem should look like: 3 = n
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: n = 3

Answer: n = 3

Hi my lil bunny!

❀ _____.______❀_______._____ ❀

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

(\frac{2}{3}x) ( \frac{-6}{7} + \frac{4}{5}) = [\frac{\frac{2^x4}{3} }{5} ] ( \frac{-6}{7} )

\frac{-4}{105} x = \frac{-4x^5}{35}

Step 1: Subtract (-4)/35x^5 from both sides.

\frac{-4}{105} x - \frac{-4}{35x^5} = \frac{-4x^5}{35} - \frac{-4x^5}{35}\\\\\frac{4}{35}x^5  + \frac{-4}{105} = 0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

x(0.114286 x^4 - 0.038095 ) = 0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x = 0 or 0.114286 x^4 - 0.038095 = 0\\\\x = 0 or x = -0.759836 or x = 0.759836

So the answer is :  x = 0 or x = - 0.759836 or x = 0.759836

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

79 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40 soldiers were not included in the square, the square consists of 6241 soldiers.  6241 represents the area of the square, and the rows (r) represents a side of the square.   Since the area of a square = the length of the side squared, then 6241 = r^{2}.  

So r = \sqrt{6241}

r = 79
