Answer:
Given:
let x = be the number of boys
3 + 2x = number of girls
60 = total children in a bus
Solution:
x+3+2x = 60
3x = 60 – 3
3x = 57
Solve for the number of girls in a bus
3 + 2x
3 +2(19)
3 + 38
41
Therefore there are :
boys = 19
girls = 41
Checking:
x+3+2x = 60
19 + 3+2(19) = 60
19+3+38 = 60
60 = 60
