Question

number of girls in a hockey team is 3 less than twice the number of boys if the number of girls is 15 how many boys are there in a team??​

Answer 1

Answer:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no of boys be x

No of girls are 15

3 less than twice x means 2x-3

So 15= 2x-3

15+3 = 2x

2x =18

x=18/2

x=9

So total no of boys are 9

Answer 2

HEY MATE !!!!

let the number of boys be x

thus, number of girls = 2x-3

but the number of girls is 15

so , 2x-3= 15

2x =18

x =9

thus the number of boys = 9

VERIFICATION

number of girls is twice less than boys---> 2×9 -3 = 18-3 =15
