15students of 10th class took part in a mathematics quiz. if the number of 5 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and the number of girls who took part in the quiz.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of girls be x

therefore, x + x + 5 = 15,

2x = 15 - 5,

x = 10 / 2

x = 5

number of boys = x = 5

number of girls = x + 5  =  10

Total students = number of boys + girls = 5 + 10 = 15 students
