Question

There are a total of 64 students in a drama club and a yearbook club. The drama club has 10 more students than the yearbook club. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y = 64 --------1

x= y + 10 -------2

step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of students in drama club

Let y = number of students in year book club

x+y = 64 --------1

x= y + 10 -------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

y + 10 + y = 64

2y = 54

y = 27

x = 64 - 27 = 37

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of yearbook club=x

number of drama club=y

y=x+10

x+y=64
