This document explains how to solve simultaneous equations using an example with the total number of boys and girls in two locations. It shows forming two equations: one with the total of boys and girls equaling 156, and another relating the number of girls in one location to the number of boys in the other. It substitutes one equation into the other to solve for the individual values of boys and girls. The key steps are forming equations from the information given, substituting one equation into the other, and solving to find the individual values requested.
