Select the equation that most accurately depicts the word problem. A class of 19 pupils has five more girls than boys. Let n = the number of boys.
n + (n + 19) = 5
n + (n + 5) = 19
n - (n + 5) = 19
n + (n - 19) = 5
Since the number of boys =n
The number of girls =n + 5. So the equation would be:
n + (n + 5) =19
+5
