Question 825845
The school band has six members in the percussion section. The brass section is three times larger than the percussion section and the rest of the band members make up the woodwind section. The bend has 39 members altogether. How many members make up the woodwind section?
----
percussion:: 6
brass:::::::3*6 = 18
woodwind:::: x
======================
Equation:
6 + 18 + x = 39
x + 24 = 39
x = 15 (# in woodwind section)
