This is my approach if you want dependent and
independent variables.
I'll plot number of students in the class on the

-----------------------------------------------------
I'll plot , the number of boys on the horizontal axis
which is the independent variable
------------------------------------------------------
is the number of girls
-------------------------------
Here's the system of equations:
(1)
(2)
---------------------
Here's a plot of (1) and (2):
As you can see, looks like the solution
There are 11 boys and = 15 girls
