Answer:

Number of boys = 12 and Number of girls = 24

Explanation:

I guess you are looking for the number of boys and girls in the class

Let x be the number of boys

so number of girls will be 2x (girls are two times the number of boys)

equation to find x = x + 2x = 36

therefore x = 36/3 = 12

So number of boys = 12

number of girls = 12 * 2 = 24
