Question

MODELING REAL LIFE There are a total of 64 students in a filmmaking club and a yearbook club. The filmmaking club has 14 more students than the yearbook club.
a. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. Let x represent the number of students in the filmmaking club and y represent the number of students in the yearbook club.

System of equations: x=__



__x + __y = 64

Answer 1

Answer:

The system of linear equations is x + y = 64 and x = y + 14.

Given that,

The total number of students is 64 .

Here we assume the x be the number of students in filmmaking club .

And, y be the number of students in yearbook club.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

x + y = 64

And,

x = y + 14

Therefore,

We can say that

Number of students in yearbook club = 25

And, the number of students in filmmaking club = 39
