During the class period,the number of girls is ten more than four times the number of boys.
formulate two linear equations from the statement to determine the number of
boys in the class if the total number of students in that class is one hundred.
let the number of boys be represented by variable y and
let the number of girls be represented by variable x.
:
Write an equation for each statement:
:
"the number of girls is ten more than four times the number of boys.'
x = 4y + 10
:
"the total number of students in that class is one hundred."
x + y = 100
