To determine the number of members in the chess club, we can use algebraic reasoning.
Let's assume the number of boys in the club is represented by the variable "6x" and the number of girls is represented by "5x". According to the given ratio of boys to girls (6:5), we have:
6x (boys) = 5x (girls)
We are also given that there are three more boys than girls, so we can set up another equation:
6x = 5x + 3
To solve this equation, we subtract 5x from both sides:
6x - 5x = 5x + 3 - 5x
x = 3
Now we can substitute the value of "x" back into either 6x or 5x to find the number of members in the club. Let's substitute it into 5x:
Number of members = 5x = 5 * 3 = 15
Therefore, there are 15 members in the chess club.
