There are eight more girls than boys in the high school math club. The club has a total of 44

members. How many boys and how many girls are in the club?

what are this answer chioces?

b + b+8 = 44

b=18, so g = 26

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations. Let's use the variable "x" to represent the number of boys in the math club.

Since there are eight more girls than boys, the number of girls would be (x + 8).

The total number of members is given as 44, so we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 8) = 44

Now, we can solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the number of boys:

2x + 8 = 44
2x = 44 - 8
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18

So, there are 18 boys in the math club. To find the number of girls, we can substitute the value of x into our equation:

x + 8 = 18 + 8 = 26

Therefore, there are 18 boys and 26 girls in the math club.
