In the orchestra there are 16 more violin players than cello players the total number is 66 how mani

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.

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.

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 梅 2 = 50 梅 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.
Let C = the amount of cello players.



How many violin players are there based on C ?



C + ____________ = 66



Use algebra to find c.



Then find the number of violin players.



Please try to finish this on your own before looking at others.



The answer is: 41 But make sure you understand why
41
