a mass club has 40 members the number of girls is five less than two times the number of boys how many members are boys how many members are girls

15 boys and 25 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:

g + b = 40

The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:

2b - 5 = g

First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b

Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:

2b-5 = 40-b

Which simplifies to:

2b + b = 40 + 5

3b = 45

b = 15

g = 40-15 = 25

15 boys, 25 girls.

b. astronomers
