Question

Mr. R's kindergarten class has 22 students. There are 2 more girls than boys in his class. How many boys are there?

let x=
let y=

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

If we want to find out if there are an equal amount of boys and girls, then we do 22/2 which is 11. BUT, it says there are two more girls than boys. So...

11+2 since there are two more boys than girls. 11+2=13 girls.
