A high school graduating class is made up of 351 students. There are 73 more girls than boys. How many boys are in the class?

let x be the number of boys

given, the number of girls are 73 more than the number of boys, meaning number of girls is x + 73

also given is that x + x + 73 = 351

2x + 73 = 351

2x = 351 - 73

2x = 278

x= 139

There are 139 boys

There will be 139 + 73 = 212 girls

139 + 212 = 351 which is the total number of students

answer: h=5.6 i don't really know how to put into words, so i though i would let you do that. i hope i was able to some

step-by-step explanation:

18 = 6(h)+1/2

17 = 3h

17/3 = h

h = 5.6
