Question

At Alief High School, there are 80 students in the school band. There are 25 fewer female students than twice the number of male students in the band. Which system of equations represents the number of male and female students participating in the school band, and how many male students are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

m + f = 80, or f = 80 - m

2m = f + 25   Substitute

2m = (80 - m) + 25

2m = 105 - m

3m = 105

m = 35
