Question

There are 260 eighth grade students at South Whitemarsh Middle School. All eighth

grade students are required to enroll in either a music class or an art class. No
students take both art and music classes. The number of students taking music
classes is 14 more than twice the number taking art classes.

Answer 1

178 students taking music class

82 students taking art class

Explanation:

There was no specific question but I'm guessing you want to find the number of students taking art and music class.

let x= # of kids taking art class

2x+14 = # of kids taking music class

Total number of these kids will equal to 260, the total number of kids.

x+2x+14 = 260

3x=246

x=82 students taking art class

Plug in x to 2x+14 to find those taking music class

2(82)+14 = 178
