Hi,

 A soccer team has 3 more boys and three-fourths as many girls as last year.

Let x and y represent the number of girls and boys last year.

This year would be (x+3) and 3/4y

The number of players on the team is the  as last year.

 x+y = (x+3) + 3/4y

  1/4y = 3

    y = 12, number of girls on the team last year.
