Answer 1

Answer:

310

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trees planted by boys be = x

Let the number of trees planted by girls        = x+85

Total number of trees                                      =  705

∴ x + (x+85)  =  705

    2x  +  85  =  705

      2x          =   705 - 85

      2x          =      620

       x           =      310

∴ 310 trees were planted by boys and 395 (310+85) trees were planted by girls.
