Respuesta :

The number of students that are on the track team are 18.

The number of students that are on the baseball team are 15.

What are the linear equations that represent the question?

a + b = 33 equation 1

a - b = 3 equation 2

Where:

  • a = number of students that are on the track team
  • b = number of students that are on the baseball team

How many students that are on the baseball team?

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

2b = 30

Divide both sides by 2

b = 30/2 = 15

How many students that are on the track team?

Subtract 15 from 33: 33 - 15 = 18
