    The total number of students in the maths club is 40

    the number of boys is 5 less than 2 times the amount of girls

    to find the number of girls and boys let the number of girls be X.

    so 2X-5 = the number of boy

    so, X + 2X-5=40

    3X-5=40

    3X=40+5

    3X=45

    X=45/3

    X=15

    the number of girls is 15

    and the number of boys is 15x2-5=25 boys
