A total of 32 students sign up for a kayaking trip. Four more seniors (s) sign up than juniors (j). Which system of linear equations models this situation?A) s + j = 324s + j = 36B) s + j = 32s − j = 4 C) s + j = 36s − j = 32 D) s + j = 36−s − j = 4
Accepted Solution
A:
There is a total of 32 students, so the sum of the numbers of seniors and juniors must be 32:[tex]s+j=32[/tex]There are 4 more seniors than juniors, so the difference between the two must be 4:[tex]s-j=4[/tex]
