Hey mate, Good morning ♡

# Here's ur answer ☆☆☆

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: boys \: be \: x \: and \: girls \: be \: y

we \: know \: x + y = 15 \\ 2y - 3 + y = 15  \: (x = 2y - 3)\\ 3y - 3 = 15 \\ 3y = 18 \\ y = 6 \\ x = 2(6) - 3 = 9

hence \: no. \: of \: boys = 9 \\ no. \: of \: girls = 6

Hope this helps u....
