There are 33 students in the band 6 more fifth grade students than third grade students but an equal number of third and fourth grade students how many third grade students are in the band?
This is a single-equation algebra problem, and can be stated using the variable T to stand for the number of Third Grade students (our answer).The equation is Fifth Grade + Fourth Grade + Third Grade = 33 total members.In terms of T, this is (T+6) + (T) + (T) = 33Which reduces to 3T + 6 = 33 and 3T = 27 and T = 9.There are 9 third-grade students, 9 fourth-grade students, and 15 fifth-grade students = 33.
