chorus. Which equation represents how
to find the number of students in the
band?
A. 2x - 8= 54
B. 2x + 8 = 54
C. 8x - 2 = 54
D. 8x + 2 = 54

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation to find the number of students in the

the band will be:  2x - 8= 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of members in the chorus = x

so the double number of members in the chorus will be = 2x

As Total members in the chorus = 54

As there are 8 fewer than double the  number of students in the chorus than in  the band.  i.e. 2x - 8

Therefore, the equation to find the number of students in the

the band will be:  2x - 8= 54
