Question

write equations to represent situations 1. math on the spot at glendcliff high school, the photography club has 23 members., which is 12 fewer than the hacky sack club. does the hacky sack club have 35 members or 11 members? write an equation to model the problem.

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable for hacky sack club

Let $x$ = number of hacky sack club members.

Step2: Set up equation from problem

Photography club (23) is 12 fewer than $x$, so:
$x - 12 = 23$

Step3: Solve for $x$

Add 12 to both sides:
$x = 23 + 12$
$x = 35$

Answer:

The equation is $x - 12 = 23$, and the hacky sack club has 35 members.
