Answer:

no of boys =24

Answer 2

Answer:

x=26

y=24

The number of girls is 26

The number of boys is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 50 students in a class

Number of girls =x

Number of boys=y

x+y=50

Condition:

The number of girls is 2 more than the number of boys.

x=2+y

Now we have 2 equation

x+y=50 ==>1

x=2+y ==>2

Substitute equation 2 in 1

2+y+y=50

2+2y=50

Take 2 as common

2(1+y)=50

1+y=50/2

1+y=25

y=25-1

y=24

Substitute the value y in equation 2

x=2+y

x=2+24

x=26

The number of boys is 24

The number of girls is 26
