A school district has 5600 middle school students in five middle schools. Red River School has 200 more students than Great Meadow School. Blue Skies Middle School has 100 fewer students than Great Meadow School. Green Mountain School has the same number of students as Great Meadow School. Sand Shore School has twice as many students as Red River Middle School. How many students attend each middle school? Write an algebraic equation to represent the problem and solve it.
Thank you for the help! Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! rrs=x+200=1050
gms=x=850
bsms=x-100=750
gmos=x=850
sss=2(x+200)=2100
----------------------------
x+200+x+x-100+x+2x+400=5600
6x+500=5600
6x=5100
x=850
