ANSWER FAAST

Answer 1

Answer:

52-10 = 42

42÷2= 21

Boys =21

Girls=21+10 = 31

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's read the question from the last.

Number of girls is 10 more than that of boys,and total number of boys and girls in a class is 52.

So we can conclude that

Boys +Girls=52

$boys = x \\ girls = x + 10 \\ because \: there \: are \: 10 \: more \: girls \: than \: boys$

So x+x+10=52

x+x=52-10

2x=42

x=42÷2

=21
