in the orchestra there are 16 more violin players than cello players the total number is 66 how maniplayviolin

Answer 1

ok, here's how you solve it

x = number of cello players
y = number of violin players = x+16 (16 more violin players than cello players.

x + y = total number of players so

x + y = 66

since y = x + 16 then

x + x + 16 = 66

now you add the x's and the integers

2x = 66-16

2x = 50

x = 50/2 = 25

y = 25+16 = 41

there are 25 cello players and 41 violin players.

hope it helps.

Answer 2

v = c + 16
v + c = 66

Substituting with v:
   v + c = 66
   ( c + 16 ) + c = 66
Simple addition:
   2c + 16 = 66
Subtracting 16:
   2c + 16 - 16 = 66 - 16
   2c = 50
Solving for c:
   2c ÷ 2 = 50 ÷ 2
   c = 25
Substituting with c:
   v = c + 16
   v = ( 25 ) + 16
Adding and solving for v:
   v = 41

There are 25 cello players.
There are 41 violin players.

Answer 3

Let C = the amount of cello players.
How many violin players are there based on C ?

The answer is: 41 But make sure you understand why

Answer 4

v = c + 16

v + c = 66
(c + 16) + c = 66
c + 16 + c = 66
2c + 16 = 66
2c = 50
c = 25

v = 25 + 16
v = 41

41 people in the orchestra play the violin.
