A. the number of boys and the number of girls in the class B. the number of students in the class C. the number of boys in the class D. the number of girls in the class
I think it's C but I just wanna be sure.
Its C
Let boys be x,then girls be x+7,x+x+7=23,,,,,2x=16,,,x=8,and hence boys number is 8 ,and girls number isx+7=8+7=15,
Let boys be x,then girls be x+7,x+x+7=23,,,,,2x=16,,,x=8,and hence boys number is 8 ,and girls number isx+7=8+7=15,
