Question

students signed up for the club, how many more students does the club need?
What are the solutions? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your
choice

Answer 1

We know that the inequality form is x ≥ 26. If we subtract the number of students required by the number of students joined, we will obtain the required students to start the club.

• => Required students - Students joined = Students remained to join
• => 26 - 19 = Students remained to join
• => 7 students

Hence, the club needs 7 more students to have a club.

Answer 2

• 7 more students.

Basic subtraction:

needed students: minimum required students - students signed up

needed students: 26 - 19

needed students: 7 students, the club needs.
