There are a total of 72 students in a drama club and a yearbook club. The drama club has 12 more students than the yearbook club. How many students are in the drama club? the yearbook club

Respuesta :

VARIABLES:
[x] Yearbook Club (expression: x)
[y] Drama Club (expression: x + 12)

EQUATIONS:
#1 x + y = 72
#2 y = x + 12

Now we shall use the method of substitution to solve.

FINDING X:
#1 x + (x + 12) = 72
#2 2x + 12 = 72
#3 2x = 60
#4 x = 30

The amount of students in the yearbook club: 30
The amount of students in the drama club: 72 - 30 = 42

If you can, please give me brainliest. Thank you!
