Question

Aclass has 2 boys more than girls .if there are 36 students in all ,how many boys are there ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the girls be x

then boys are x+2

x+x+2=36

2x=36

x=36/2

x=18

Answer 2

19 boys are there

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. of girls be x

therefore, the no. of boy's be x+2

according to ques:-

x + (x+2) = 36

2x + 2 = 36

2x = 34

x = 17

hence,

no. of girls = x = 17

no. of boy's = x+2 = 17 +2 = 19
