The Period 1 gym class has 5 fewer than twice as many students as in the Period 2 gym class. There are 11 students in the Period 1 gym class. How many are in the Period 2 gym class? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Let x be the number of students in the Period 8 gym class. 2x - 5 = 11. 2x = 16. x = 8. So the final answer is 8.
