Question

there are 650 students in a school if the number of girls is 106 more than the boys how many boys are in the school​

Answer 1

boys = 272

Explanation:

b = boys

g = girls

1) write two equations with the given informations:

g + b = 650

g = b + 106

2) substitute the value of g in the first equation:

b + 106 + b = 650

3) solve the equation for b

2b = 544

b = 272

4) substitute the value in the second equation

g = 272 + 106

g = 378

girls = 378

boys = 272

Answer 2

There are 272 boys in the school
