    Given:

    total of 21 children

    2 times as many girls as boys at the party.

    Let x be the number of boys.

    boy + girls = 21

    x + 2x = 21

    3x = 21

    x = 21/3

    x = 7 number of boys

    2x = 2 (7) = 14 number of girls.

    C. Divide 21 : 3. Subtract the quotient from 21.

    D. Divide 21 : 3. Multiply the quotient by 2.
