Answer:

g+b=26

b=4+g

Explanation:

There are a total of 26 students in Tom's class. There are 4 more boys than girls.

Given : total students = 26

let g be the number of girls

Let b be the number of boys

number of girls + number of boys = total students

So equation becomes

g + b = 26

There are 4 more boys than girls.

boys = 4 more than girls

so b = g+ 4

So option B is correct
