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>
