Question

There were a total of 107 students and chaperones on a field trip to the museum. If the number of students was thirteen less than seven times the number of chaperones fund the number of students.

Answer 1

Answer:

92 students

Step-by-step explanation:

students are x, chaperones are y

x+y=107

x=7y-13

substitute: (7y-13)+y=107

8y-13=107

8y=120

y=15

substitute: x=7(15)-13

x=105-13

x=92
