If b = boys......and there are 5 more girls then boys.....then the expression that represents girls is : b + 5

b + b + 5 = 27
2b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 - 5
2b = 22
b = 22/2
b = 11......there are 11 boys

g = b + 5
g = 11 + 5
g = 16....there are 16 girls

Vika [28.1K]
Since the triangle is isosceles the measure of angle B is also 47.
since you have dropped a perpendicular bisector the measure of angle x is 90. and since the angles must add to 180 you get 47+47+a=180 and a= 86. since y is half this we have y is 43
