Question

3. In Mrs. Middleton's math class, there are 7 more boys than girls. If there are 29 total students in the class, how many boys are there?​

Answer 1

I think 18 hope this helps

Answer 2

Convert the word problem into an equation as follows:

Let's use the variable 'x' for girls and 'x+7' for boys.

x + x + 7 = 29

Combine like terms

2x + 7 = 29

Subtract 7 from both sides

2x = 22

Divide 2 into 22 to get x

x=11 girls

x+7 = 18 Boys
