Step 1: Understand the problem.
We are looking for the number girls in first grade where girls is 36 more than boys, and we will let
Y to be the number of boys while X is the number of girls
m
→ 2y+36=364 → 2y=364-36 → 2y=328 → 2y/2 = 328/2 → y= 164, the
er as
Eq. 1: y+(y+36)=364
co
number of boys
eH w
→ x+164=364 → x=364-164 → x=200, the number of girls
o.
Eq.2: x+y=364

Step 4: Look back (check and interpret).

If we add 164 and 200 we get the total number of students 364 and if we subtract a 164 and 200
we get the 36 difference between girls and boys student where girls is 36 more then boys
ed d
So the final answer is 200, the total number of girls student in first grade
