Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Define the problem

We are given that the photography club has 23 members, which is 12 fewer than the hacky sack club. We need to determine whether the hacky sack club has 35 members or 11 members.

Step 2: Set up the equation

Let \( h \) represent the number of members in the hacky sack club. According to the problem, the photography club has 12 fewer members than the hacky sack club. This can be expressed as: \[ 23 = h - 12 \]

Step 3: Solve for \( h \)

Add 12 to both sides of the equation to solve for \( h \): \[ 23 + 12 = h \] \[ h = 35 \]
