Answer 1

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls in class be x

Therefore the number of boys = 2x + 6

no. of girls + no. of boys = total students in class

x + 2x + 6 = 60

3x + 6 = 60

3x = 60 - 6

3x = 54

x = 54 /3

x = 18

Therefore, the number of boys (2x+6) are 42

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 42 boys in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 60 students are in the class

Boys are 6 more than twice the number of girls

Let the number of girls in the class be x

The numbers of boys are 6 more than twice x

so number of boys= 2x+6

So the equation would be

x+2x+6=60

3x+6=60

3x=60-6

3x=54

x=54/3

x=18

x= girls= 18

2x+6= boys

= 2×18+6

=42

Ans. there are 42 boys in the class.
