Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of male teachers be X

then the number of female teacher will be X+11

since, total number of teachers is 55

so, adding the number of male and female teachers must be 55

X+(X+11)=55

X+(X+11)=55or, 2x+11= 55

X+(X+11)=55or, 2x+11= 55or, 2x=44

X+(X+11)=55or, 2x+11= 55or, 2x=44or, X=22

hence the number of male teachers is 22

and the number of female teachers is 22 + 11 = 33
