Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:M+F=39
M+F=39
F=M-9
Substitute
M + M - 9 = 39
2M = 48
M=48/2
M=24
24+F=39
F=39-24=15
F=15, M=24
Answer:
15 females
24 males
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
39 students total
9 more male student than female
1. Set up an equation
Call the number of female student "x"
Since there are 9 more male students, the number of male students is (x + 9),
Assuming those are the only genders in the class, the equation formed is;
females + males = total
x + x + 9 = 39
2. Solve,
Simplify and inverse operations;
x + x + 9 = 39
2x + 9 = 39
2x = 30
x = 15
15 females
24 males
