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?

A b + g = 112
b = 2g + 16

B b + g = 112
g = 2b + 16

C b − g = 112
b = 2g − 16

D None of the systems above would solve this problem.

Answer 1

Well, we know that
g+b=112
right?

Now, 2g is twice the number of girls. Which set has b equaling 16 more than 2g?
