A class has 35 boys and girls. There are 7 more girls than boys. Find the number of girls and boys in the class

Let the number of boys be b and the number of girls be g. We're given two equations:

1. b + g = 35
2. g = b + 7 (7 more girls means we add 7 to the boys)

To solve for b, we substitute equation (2) into equation (1) for g:
b + b + 7 = 35

To solve for b, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
b = 14

Now, to solve for g, we plug b = 14 into equation (2) above:
g = 14 + 7
g = 21
