Answer:
48 students in science
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r = students in robots club
s = students in science club
r+s = 84
s = r+12
Substitute the second equation into the first
r+(r+12) = 84
Combine like terms
2r+12 = 84
Subtract 12 from each side
2r = 84-12
2r = 72
Divide by 2
r = 72/2 = 36
We need to find s
s = r+12
s = 36+12
s = 48
There are 48 students in the science club
Let a be the no. of students in the robotics club
and b be the no. of students in the science club
a + b = 84 (eqn. 1)
b = a + 12 (eqn. 2)
sub. eqn. 2 into eqn 1,
a + (a + 12) = 84
2a + 12 = 84
2a = 84 - 12
2a = 72
a = 36
sub. a = 36 in eqn 2
b = 36 + 12
b = 48
So there are 48 students in the science club.
Hope this helps!
