Answer:
6 boys and 11 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
hello,
let 's note x the number of boys and y the number of girls, we can write two equations
"there are a total of 17 kids"
(1) x + y = 17
"There are 5 more girls than boys"
(2) y = x + 5
We can replace (2) in (1) it comes
x + x + 5 = 17
<=> 2x = 17-5 = 12
<=> x = 6
and then y = 11
So, there are 6 boys and 11 girls
graphs below
hope this helps
The number of girls in the club is 6
An equation is a mathematical statement formed from two algebraic expression when equated by an equal sign.
It is given that
Total Kids = 17
Let the number of boys be x
There are 5 more girls than boys
Let number of girls be y
y = x+5
The number of girls = x +5
x +y = 17
The graph is plotted and is attached with the answer.
The intersection of the graph gives us the total number of girls and boys
(6,11) is the point of intersection and therefore
Number of boys = 6
No. of girls = 11
