Answer 1

The math club has 22 students, and the art club has 34 students.

Explanation:

Given that there are a total of 56 students between the art club and the math club, and that the art club has 12 more students than the math club, to determine how many students there are in each club, the following calculation must be performed:

X + X + 12 = 56

2X + 12 = 56

2X = 56 - 12

X = 44/2

X = 22

Thus, the math club has 22 students, and the art club has 34 students.
