Question

The number of boys in the class is 11 more than the number of girls in the class. If there are 75 students in the class, find the number of boys and girls in the class

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the number of girls and x + 11 be the number of boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 11 + x = 75

2x + 11 = 75

2x = 64

x =  32

x + 11 = 43

Answer 2

lets consider number of girls as 'x'
according to the question
x + (x + 11) = 75
= 2x + 11 = 75
2x = 75 - 11
2x= 64
x=64/2
x=32
Answer
Number of girls=32
Number of boys= 32+11=43
Total number of students = 32+43=75
