Answer:
Females = 17 and males = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total no of students in the class = 40
Let no. of females = x
No. of males = 6+x
ATQ,
Total students = males + females
40 = x+6+x
40-6 = 2x
34 = 2x
x = 17
Hence, there are 17 females and (6+17= 23) males.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You would do x+ (x+1)=137
2x+1=137
Subtract 1 from each side
2x=136
x=68.
Add 1 to 68, since they are consecutive integers.
The answer is 68 and 69
