Answer:
The required equation is (1) and the number of boys is 211.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of boys be x.
It is given that there are 100 more girls than boys. It means the number of girls is x+100.
The total number of students is 522.
Number of boys + Number of girls = 522
[tex]x+(x+100)=522[/tex] ... (1)
Combine like terms.
[tex]2x+100=522[/tex]
Subtract 100 from both the sides.
[tex]2x+100-100=522-100[/tex]
[tex]2x=422[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]x=211[/tex]
Therefore the required equation is (1) and the number of boys is 211.
Answer:
[tex]2x+100=522[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no. of boys be x
We are given that there are 100 more girls than boys.
So, No. of girls = x+100
Total number students = [tex]x+x+100[/tex]
= [tex]2x+100[/tex]
We are given that The freshman class at Central High totals 522 students
So, equation becomes : [tex]2x+100=522[/tex]
Hence an equation can be used to find the number of boys is [tex]2x+100=522[/tex]
