Question

There are 25 girls in a school club. The number of girls is three more than twice the number if boys. Find the number of boys.

Answer 1

11 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = 25 *subtract 3 on both sides*

2x = 22 *divide by 2 on both sides*

x = 11 *x represents the number of boys*

Answer 2

11 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation to solve this.

g= 2b+ 3

g is the number of girls and b is the number of boys

25= 2b+3

-3 -3

22= 2b

22/2= 2b/2

11= b

There are 11 boys in the school club
