In a class, 45 students are taking the SAT exam.The number of boys is 9 more than the number of girls.How many girls and boys are in the classroom?
Write a system of equations and solve using any method.
The equation would be g + (g + 9) = 45 2g + 9 = 45 - 9 2g = 36 ÷ 2 g = 18 18 + 9 = 27 Girls: 18 Boys: 27 Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
