Answer 2

26 boys.

Explanation:

You know that there are 36 students on the soccer team, and 19 are girls. 36 - 19 = 17. There are 17 boys on the track team.

There are 18 boys on the basketball team.

To find out how many boys are on the track team, all you need to do is...

61 - (17 + 18) = 61 - 35 = 26.

There are 26 boys on the track team.

Hope this helps!
