9. In Mr.chin's math class there were g girls and b boys. The number pf girls was 5 less than twice the number of boys. What is the value of g in terms of b?
this is what I have so far: 2n-5
g = 2 b - 5
so yes, but they said b for boys
To find the value of g in terms of b, we can start by translating the given information into an equation.
The number of girls, g, is 5 less than twice the number of boys, b. So we can express this as:
g = 2b - 5
Therefore, the value of g in terms of b is 2b - 5.
