Step-by-step explanation:
boys =x, x/y=4/5
x+10/y=6/5
5x-4y=0
5x+50-6y=0
-2y+50=0
-2y=-50
y=25,y means girls
5x-4*25=0
x=20

Hey Buddy
Here's the Answer
-------------------------------------------------------
=> Let boys be ( x ) and girls ( y )
Given : Ratio of boys and girl is 4 : 5
=> x/y = 4/5
=> 5x = 4y
=> x = 4y/5______( 1 )
Given : If 10 boys added, Ratio becomes 6 : 5
=> ( x + 10 )/y = 6/5
=> 5( x + 10 ) = 6y
=> 5x - 6y + 50 = 0
=> 5x - 6y + 50 = 0
=> 5x - 6y = - 50___________( 2 )
By putting value of x in eq( 2 )
=> 5x - 6y = - 50
=> 5( 4y/5 ) - 6y = - 50
=> 4y - 6y = - 50
=> - 2y = - 50
=> y = 25 ✓
Now by finding x by putting value of y in eq ( 1 )
=> x = 4y/5
=> x = 4 × 25/ 5
=> x = 4 × 5
=> x = 20✓
So, There are 20 boys and 25 girls
Hope it Helps
