The us senate has 100 members after a certain election there were 2 more democrats than republicans with no other parties represented how many members were of each party were there in the senate
Let's represent the number of Republican senators as "x" and the number of Democratic senators as "x + 2". The total number of senators is 100, so we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 2) = 100
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 2 = 100
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
2x = 98
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 49
Therefore, there were 49 Republican senators (x) and 49 + 2 = 51 Democratic senators in the US Senate after the election.
