There are 472 girls and boys combined. Subtract 116 from 472, then split this number in half.

472-116=356

356÷2=178

This means that each group has 178 people, but the girls side has 178+116.

Therefore, there are 178 boys in the class.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

$x {}^{2} + 3x + 4 = (x + a) {}^{2} + b \\ x {}^{2} + 3x + 4 = x {}^{2} + 2ax + a {}^{2} + b \\ = x {}^{2} + a {}^{2} + 2ax + b \\ 2a = 3 \\ b = 4 \\ a = \frac{3}{2} \\ b = 4$
