Bradley and 23 of his classmates went on a trip to the aquarium. There are 8 more boys than girls on the trip. Write a system of equations to model the problem. Then solve the system algebraically. How many boys and girls were on the trip?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number on the trip is 24
Let the number of girls be x
Then the boys are x + 8
So... x + x + 8 = 24
2x + 8 = 24.......... This is the equation
2x = 24 - 8
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8
Number of girls = 8
And number of boys = x + 8
Which is = 8+8 = 16
