4+2x = x (x = student in smaller group)
4 + 2x + x = 28 (total # of students)
4+ 3x = 28
3x = 24
x = 8
8 students in the smaller group
4 + 2(8) = 20 students in the larger group
Answer:
9x + 3 = 7x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.
He arranged the chairs in 9 equal rows but had 3 chairs left over.
Let x be the number of chairs. So,
9x+3 .....(1)
Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows but had 19 chairs left over. So,
7x+19 ......(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
9x+3 = 7x+19
9x-7x = 19-3
2x = 16
x = 8
Hence, the correct option is (b).
