Mr. Rad's class was invited to go on a field trip after school hours. Fourteen of the students in his class went on the field trip, and 6 of them were boys. The expression below can be used to find g, the number of girls in Mr. Rad's class that went on the field trip.
6 + g = 14
How many girls went on the field trip?
Subtract 6 from each side of the equation.
6 + g = 14
g = 14 - 6
g = 8
thank you
You're welcome.
To find the number of girls that went on the field trip, we need to solve the equation 6 + g = 14 for g.
To solve for g, we'll need to isolate the variable g on one side of the equation.
To do this, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
6 + g - 6 = 14 - 6
Simplifying the equation gives us:
g = 8
So, 8 girls went on the field trip.
