Hey there!
The answer is 13 boys and 16 girls.
We can do this by making an equation, using "x" to represent boys. Knowing there are 3 more boys than girls, we can set up the following equation:
(x + 3) + x = 29
<em>NOTE: "x + 3" represents the number of girls, since there are 3 more girls than boys. "x" represents the number of boys.</em> Now we can solve the equation:
x + 3 + x = 29
Add like terms:
2x + 3 = 29
Subtract 3 from both sides:
2x = 26
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 13
Therfore, there are 13 boys. To figure out girls, we simply add 3, giving us 16.
Have a terrificly amazing day! :D
