Enzo Chase · Answer 1

Given:

64 total students

x = drama club students

y = yearbook club students

x = y + 10

y = 64 - x

y = 64 - x

y = 64 - (y + 10)

y = 64 - y - 10

y + y = 64 - 10

2y = 54

2y/2 = 54/2

y = 27

x = y + 10

x = 27 + 10

x = 37

To check:

x + y = 64

37 + 27 = 64

64 = 64
