    Let g represents girls.

    Write the equation putting boy's numbers in girl's term;

    g + (g+5) = 33

    2g+5 = 33

    2g = 33-5

    2g = 28

    g = 14 number of girls

    That means there are 19 boys (14+5)

    check using the original equation;

    14 + (14+5) = 33

    So, 14 girls are correct.
