Question

В двух оркестрах 157 исполнителей причем в одном оркестре на 17 музыкантов больше чем в другом. Сколько человек в каждом?

Answer 1

157 - 17 =140 мы убрали разницу.                                                                             140 : 2 = 70 муз. в одном оркестре.                                                                          70 + 17 = 87 муз. в другом                                                                                              Ответ: 70 чел и 87 чел.  

Answer 2

Solving for the Number of Musicians in Each Orchestra

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information. Let's denote the number of musicians in the first orchestra as x and the number of musicians in the second orchestra as y. We are given two pieces of information: 1. There are 157 musicians in total. 2. The first orchestra has 17 more musicians than the second orchestra.

Setting Up the Equations

We can set up the following system of equations based on the given information: 1. x + y = 157 (Total number of musicians) 2. x = y + 17 (Difference in the number of musicians between the two orchestras)

Solving the System of Equations

We can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.

Substituting the value of x from the second equation into the first equation: y + 17 + y = 157 2y + 17 = 157 2y = 157 - 17 2y = 140 y = 70

Substituting the value of y back into the second equation: x = 70 + 17 x = 87

Answer

So, there are 87 musicians in one orchestra and 70 musicians in the other orchestra.
