There are 27 students in Mrs. Augello’s math class. The number of boys is three less than the number of girls. Write a system of equations that represents the number of boys and girls.

x + y = 27

y = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = # of girls

y = # of boys

first there are a total of 27 students so # of girls plus # of boys has to be 27.

then number of boys is 3 less than number of girls. This means x - 3 = y or y = x-3
