Question

The number of girls at Middle School Cyber Summer Camp was six more than twice the number of boys. There were a total of 156 middle school students at the camp. Use the 5-D process to find the number of boys and the number of girls at the camp

Answer 1

g+b=(6+2b)+b=6+3b
g+b= 156

6+3b = 156 3b= 156-6=150 b=150/3=50 b=50
g= 6+2b= 6+2 x 50= 106 g =106
