Question

E. The number of girls in a hockey team
is three less than twice the number of
boys. If the number of girls is 15, how
many boys are there in the team?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number of boys be x

therefore by the given condition,

number of girls = 2x - 3

2x - 3 = 15

2x = 15+3

2x = 18

X = 18/2

x = 9

therefore there are 9 boys .

Answer 2

• Let it be "x"

2x - 3 → 15

2x → 15+3

2x → 18

x → 18/2

x → 9

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀↝ x = 9 Ans.
