There are 16 people there are 4 more boys than girls how many girls are there

Let x represent the number of girls.

Then x + 4 represents the number of boys. (there are 4 more boys than girls)

To solve this we can set up a simple equation.

# of girls + # of boys = 16 people

x + (x+4) = 16

x + x + 4 = 16

2x + 4 = 16

2x = 16 - 4

2x = 12

x = 12 / 2

x = 6

x = # of girls, so there are 6 girls.

Good luck on your math!
