The number of boys is 114 and the number of girls is 145
The given expression in algebraic form is written as:
let the number of boys = b
then, the number of girls, g = 2b - 83
given total number of students, t = 259
To find:
- the number of boys and girls in the class.
Set the following equations to find the number of boys and girls:
number of boys + number of girls = total number of students
[tex]b + g = 259\\\\b + 2b -83 = 259\\\\3b = 259+83\\\\3b = 342\\\\b = \frac{342}{3} \\\\b = 114\\\\The \ number \ of \ girls = 2(114) - 83 = 145[/tex]
Thus, the number of boys is 114 and the number of girls is 145
