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 {{{same}}} as last year.
 x+y = (x+3) + 3/4y
  1/4y = 3
    y = 12, number of girls on the team last year.
