Question 684147: A math class has a total of 44 students. The number of males is 6 more than the number of females. How many males and how many females are in the class? Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y = 44
x = males
y = femails
...
x = y + 6
...
y+6 + y = 44 ==> substitution
2y + 6 = 44
2y = 44 - 6
2y = 38 females
x = 19 + 6 males
