1/2(5x + 12) = 2x - 3
5/2 x + 6 = 2x - 3
5/2 x - 2x = -3 - 6 = -9
5x = 2 x -9 = -18
x = -18/5

Two classes have a total of 50 students. One of the classes has 6 more students than the other. How many students are in the lar

Ivahew [28]

Let's say 'x' to number of the students in the smaller class. Since the larger one is 6 more than the smaller one, its number would be 'x+6'. So their sum is equal to

$x+x+6=2x+6$ and we know total is 50 so:
$2x+6=50\\ 2x=50-6\\ 2x=44\\ x=\frac { 44 }{ 2 } \\ x=22$

x is 22 so the larger number 'x+6' is equal to : $x+6=22+6=28$
