Question

A Spanish class has a total of 31 students. The number of females is 11 less than the number of males. How many males and how many females are in

the class?
Number of males:
Number of females:

Answer 1

Males: 21

Females: 11

Answer 2

Males: 21

Females: 11

Explanation:

Let's call the number of males in the class "m".Then, the number of females would be "m - 11".The total number of students in the class is 31, so:m + (m - 11) = 31Expanding and simplifying the equation:2m - 11 = 31Adding 11 to both sides:2m = 42Dividing both sides by 2:m = 21So there are 21 males in the class and 21 - 11 = 10 females.

Correct me if I’m wrong.
