In a class, 42 students, there are 8 more boys than girls write and solve a system of 3 equations

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 8 = 42     because x = boys and x + 8 = girls

2x = 34      because 2x = 42 - 8

x = 17            

i hope this helps!  you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation      ;)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
