The chess club has 33 people in it, and there are 5 more boys than girls. how many girls are there?

Let g represents girls.

Write the equation putting boy's numbers in girl's term;

g + (g+5) = 33

2g+5 = 33

2g = 33-5

check using the original equation;

14 + (14+5) = 33

So, 14 girls are correct.
