The number of boya in a class is 5 less than
twice the number girls in the class. If the total
number of boys is 23 find the total number of
Students in the class​

Let no of girls be x

No of Boys : 2x-5 (•)

Total Strength of Boys: 23 (*)

By equating • and *

2x-5=23

2x= 28

x= 14

No Of Girls Is 14

Total Strength= Boys+ girls

14+23=37

Answer 2

no. of girls = 14

total number of students = number of boys + number of girls

= 23 + 14
