Answer 1

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, no. of students = x

x/2 + x/3 + 14  =  x

(5x + 84)/6  = x

5x + 84    =   6x

6x-5x = 84

x = 84

ie. total no. of students = 84

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the students be x

x/2 were cooking

x/3 were wandering

14 remaining

x/2+x/3+14=x

3x+2x/6+14=x

5x/6+14=x

5x+84/6=x

5x+84=6x

84=6x-5x

x=84
