Answer 1

Boys=8
Girls=42
x=boy
y=girl
5x+2+y
x+y=50
x+5x+2+50(simply substitute the eq)
6x+2=50
6x=48
x=8
y=5x+2
y=5(8)+2
y=42

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of males = 8

The number of females = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total number of students in the class = 50

The number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males

To find,

The number of males and females in the class

Solution:

Since the total number students = Number of males + number of females we have

x+ y = 50 ------------------------(1)

Since The number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males, we have

y = 2+5x ------------------(2)

Substituting the values of y from equation (2) in equation (1) we get

x+2+5x = 50

6x+2 = 50

6x = 48

x = 8

The value of x = 8

Substituting the value of x in equation (1) we get,

8+y = 50

y = 42

The value of y = 42

The number of males = 8

The number of females = 42
