Answer:

g = 2b-83

b+g=259

Number of boys = 114

Number of girls = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys in the class = b

Now, as per question statement,

Number of girls is 83 less than twice the number of boys.

Representing in the form of equation.

Let number of girls = g

g = 2b-83 ....... (1)

Also, given that total number of students in the class = 259

i.e. b+g=259

Putting value of g using equation (1):

\Rightarrow b+2b-83=259\\\Rightarrow 3b-83=259\\\Rightarrow 3b=259+83\\\Rightarrow 3b=342\\\Rightarrow \bold{b=114}

So, number of boys, <em>b = 114</em>

Putting value of b in equation (1) to find the value of g.

\Rightarrow g = 2(114)-83 \\\Rightarrow g = 228-83\\\Rightarrow \bold{g = 145}

So, number of girls, <em>g = 145.</em>

Hence, the answer is:

<em>Number of boys = 114</em>

<em>Number of girls = 145</em>
