Simultaneous equations
Using 2 symbols to represent 2
values
   Here there are a few different values we
    can use, namely number of boys/girls in
    playground, number of boys/girls in
    library, total number of pupils etc

   However, if we take a closer look at it,
    using the total number of boys and girls
    in the two places

   This is because the question tells us
    their total is156, making the first equation
    very easy to form
Forming the simultaneous
equations
   So, Let A be the total number of
    boys and B be the total number of
    girls

   The first equation is easy to get. It is:
     A+B=156(stated in the qurstion)
Forming the simultaneous
equations
   The second equation is also given in
    the question, but it is harder to find.

   It is B-15(number of girls in
    playground)= A-56(number of boys
    in library)+17(because there’s more
    girls than boys)
Solving
   From the first equation, we can get the
    following value for A:

    A=156-B

    Let’s call this the third
    equation(because this is the one we
    will be substituting)
Substituting
   Now, we have to substitute the third
    equation into the second equation(we
    can do so because the value of A in
    both equations are the same)

   B-15= 156-B-56+17
Solving
 Now if we add up some numbers and
  move them around..
 B-15=117-B
 2B=132
 B=66
Solving
   Now that we know B, we can substitute
    that value into any one of the equations

    A+B=156
    A+66=156
    A=90

Thus total number of boys is 90 and
 total number of girls in 66
Conclusion
 That is what simultaneous equation is
  about
 You basically form 2 equations and
  substitute one into the other
 The hard part is knowing which values
  to use in your equations, so for
  beginners, I recommend using values
  which forms equations easily found in
  the question, or simply use the values
  the question is asking for.
