Achess team has 26 members. however, only 16 members attended the last meeting: half of the girls attended but all of the boys attended. how many boys are on the chess team?

6 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

if all the boys(x) were at the meeting but only half the (y), you would have two equations : x+y=26 and x+y/2 = 16. Solving the system gives you 6 boys 20 girls.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

22 dimes and 9 nickels
