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>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Slope</em><em> </em><em>intercept</em><em> </em><em>form</em><em> </em><em>is</em>

<em>y = mx + b</em>

<em>where</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>slope</em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>average</em><em> </em><em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em>

<em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>intercept</em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em> </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>zero</em><em>)</em><em>.</em>

<em>When</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>0</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>This</em><em> </em><em>means</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>=</em><em>2</em>

<em>Slope</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>value</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Another</em><em> </em><em>obvious</em><em> </em><em>arbitrary</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>point</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>given</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>-8</em><em>,</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em>.</em>

<em>So</em><em> </em><em>let</em><em> </em><em>use</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>formula</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>given</em><em>.</em>

<em>So</em><em> </em><em>our</em><em> </em><em>slope</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>our</em><em> </em><em>equation</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em>

<em>1</em><em>/</em><em>4x</em><em>+</em><em>2</em>

Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 8

Explanation:

The figure forms a septagon.

The hexagons form the base, and the rectangles attached to them form the sides.

Therefore, in total the solid has two hexagons as sides and 6 rectangles connecting the hexagon to the base hexagon. Hence, in total the solid has

2 + 6 = 8 faces.
