Answer:

Explanation:

The total number of students on the basketball team is 15.

The total number of students on the track team is 23 boys + 13 girls = 36 students.

Let's denote the number of students on the football team by "x". Then the total number of students on all three teams is:

Total = 15 + 36 + x

We don't have enough information to determine the value of "x", so we can't find the total number of students on all three teams.
