first you subtract 16 from the number of all students , then divide that number by two and you will get your answer .
128=x+16
128= number of total students.
X= the number of boys
so, 16+X because there are 16 more girls than boys...
so subract 16 from 128 which equals 112
so the number of boys is 112 and the number of girls is 112+16
