At the play, 8 students from mr. frankxs room got a seat. if there we 17 children from room 24, how many children did not get a seat?

Hello there! 9 students did not get a seat.

If there are a total of 17 children and 8 of them got a seat, subtract those 8 from the total and get the remainder, or students who didn't get a seat.

17 - 8 = 9.

So, this means 9 students did not get a seat. I hope I could help solve your question, have a great day!

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
