Answered by mrW1 last updated on 20/Feb/17

x boys and y girls  x−y=10     (i)  x=2(y+1) or  x−2y=2     (ii)     ((1,(−1)),(1,(−2)) ) ((x),(y) )= (((10)),(2) )  A= ((1,(−1)),(1,(−2)) )  ∣A∣= determinant ((1,(−1)),(1,(−2)))=−2+1=−1  A^(−1) =(1/(−1)) (((−2),1),((−1),1) )= ((2,(−1)),(1,(−1)) )     ((x),(y) )=A^(−1)  (((10)),(2) )= ((2,(−1)),(1,(−1)) ) (((10)),(2) )= (((18)),(8) )    ⇒18 boys and 8 girls
