Step By step Explained

Let the no. be x

Boys - 5x

Girls - 3x

EQUATION FORMED IS

5x=3x+10

5x=3x+105x-3x=10

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2x=5

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2x=5 so girls =3x i.e 3×5=15

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2x=5 so girls =3x i.e 3×5=15boys =5x i.e 5×5=25

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2x=5 so girls =3x i.e 3×5=15boys =5x i.e 5×5=25 total students = 15+25

5x=3x+105x-3x=102x=10x=10÷2x=5 so girls =3x i.e 3×5=15boys =5x i.e 5×5=25 total students = 15+25Ans : 40 students
