Answer 2

Answer:

let the number of boys = x

number of girls = x

number of boys in the class when 8 were absent

= x - 8

on that day, the number of girls where two times the number of boys.

2(x-8) = x, 2x - 16 = x

subtracting X from both sides

2x - 16 - x = x - x, x - 16 = 0

x = 0 + 16 = 16

number of boys = 16

number of girls = 16
