Twice as many students go to the park than to the theater. Five more students go to the theater than to the museum. If 16 students go to the park, how many students go to the museum
**
let x=number of students go to the museum
x+5=number of students go to the theater
2(x+5)=number of students go to the park=16
2x+10=16
2x=6
x=3
number of students go to the museum=3
