    (b) + (b+45) = 215

    b = # of boys

    there are 45 more girls than boys and 215 students total.

    minus 45 on both sides leaving you with

    (b) + (b) = 170

    combine like terms leaving you with

    2b=170

    divide both sides by 2

    b=85

    there were 85 boys

    85+45=130

    (the 45 for the # of girls more than boys)

    there were 130 girls.
