Question

The girls at a student dance outnumbered the boys by 14. Altogether there
were 102 students at the dance. How many boys and how many girls were
present at the dance? Define two variables and then set up two equations. Solve

Answer 1

Answer:

58 girls

44 boys

Step-by-step explanation:    

102 divided by 2= 51                              have to divide, 14 divided by 2 = 7

51 - 7= 44

51 + 7= 58

58 + 44= 102

according to my calculations hope i helped ^_^

and also 58 -44= 14 is the difference between them
