Answer:
boys = 721, girls=479
Step-by-step explanation:
no. of girls=y
no. of boys in school=x =y + 242
x + y = 1200
(y+242)+y=1200
2y+242=1200
2y=1200-242= 958
y=958/2=479
x= 479+242=721

Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of girls in the school be 'x'
therefore the number of boys in school = x+242
according to the given conditions
no. of boys+no. of girls in school=1200
therefore 1200= x+(x+242)
1200=2x+242
1200- 242=2x
therefore 2x =958
x= 958÷2=479
no. of girls in school=479
no. of boys in school=x+242=479+242=721
put therefore sign every where needed
