Question

There are 22 more sophomores than juniors in an 8 am algebra class. if there are 44 students in this class, find the number of sophomores and juniors in the class

Answer 1

Hey!

Let us take the number of juniors as ' x '

The sophomores are 22 more than juniors

Juniors - x

sophomores - 22 + x

Total = 4 4

x + 22 + x = 44

2x + 22 = 44

2x = 22

x = 11

Juniors = 11

Sophomores = 33

Hope my answer helps!
