Answer:

b=15 g=25

Step-by-step explanation:

lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations

the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =

g=b+10

then in class there are 40 students that means

g+b=40

now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute

(b+10)+b=40

lets remove the brackets

2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides

2b=30 now divide both by 2

b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number
