Using a system of equations, it is found that the number of golfers in the cafeteria is of 5.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Number of baseball players.
  • Variable y: Number of golf players.

The number of baseball players is one less than twice the number of golfers, hence:

x = 2y - 1.

Since x = 9:

9 = 2y - 1

2y = 10

y = 5.

There are 5 golfers in the cafeteria.
