Question

Stable High School has a total of 112 boys and girls who play sports. If the number of boys, b is 16 more than twice the number of girls, g, how many boys play sports at this high school?
Which system of equations would help you solve this problem?

b + g = 112
b = 2g + 16

b + g = 112
g = 2b + 16

b − g = 112
b = 2g − 16

None of the systems above would solve this problem.

Answer 1

the 1st choice

Answer 2

b+g = 112
b = 2g + 16

So the first choice is correct.
