    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number on the trip is 24

    Let the number of girls be x

    Then the boys are x + 8

    So ... x + x + 8 = 24

    2x + 8 = 24 ... This is the equation

    2x = 24 - 8

    2x = 16

    x = 16/2

    x = 8

    Number of girls = 8

    And number of boys = x + 8

    Which is = 8+8 = 16
