The number of boys in the tennis club is 10 more than half the number of girls. There are 30 boys in the tennis club. Altogether how many boys and girls are in the club?

Answer provided by our tutors

assume boys = y girls = x

y = 1/2x + 10

y = 30

30 = 1/2x + 10

1/2x = 20 

x = 20 *2 = 40

girls is  40   boys is 30 

the total is 70
