In the Kite Club, there are a total of 23 kids. There are 7 more girls than boys. Write two equations below to represent the situation. Then, graph to find the number of boys and girls in the club.

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations represent the situation will be x + y = 23 and x = y + 7. Then the number of girls is 15 and the number of the boys is 8.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

In the Kite Club, there are a total of 23 kids.

Let x be the number of girls and y be the number of boys.

Then the sum of the girls and boys is 23. Then the equation will be

x + y = 23  …1

There are 7 more girls than boys. Then the equation will be

x = y + 7   …2

From equation 1 and 2, we have

y + 7 + y = 23

         2y = 23 - 7

         2y = 16

           y = 8

Then substitute the value of y in equation 2, then the equation will be

x = 8 + 7

x = 15

Then the number of girls is 15 and the number of the boys is 8.

The graph of the equation is attached below.
