Two classes have a total of 50 students. one of the classes has 6 more students than the other. how many students are in the larger class.

To solve this problem, simply use one variable to represent the number of students in each of the 2 classes.

1st class - X = no of students
2nd class - X + 6 no of students

Both classes : X + X + 6 = 50
2X + 6 = 50
2X = 44
X = 22.

1st class - X = 22 students
2nd class - X + 6 = 22 + 6 = 28 students.

There are 28 students in the larger class.
