Question 761607: Stable High School has a total of 112 boys and girls who play sports. If the number of girls, g is 16 more than twice the number of boys, b, how many girls play sports at this high school?
Which system of equations would help you solve this problem?
b + g = 112
b = 2g + 16

b + g = 112
g = 2b + 16
b − g = 112
b = 2g − 16
None of the systems above would solve this problem.

Good
------------------------
b − g = 112
b = 2g − 16
Not Good
