(N/A) Let the number of girls be $x$ and the number of boys be $y$.
According to the question,the algebraic representation is:
$x + y = 10$
$x - y = 4$
For $x + y = 10$,we have $x = 10 - y$:
$x$$5$$4$$6$
$y$$5$$6$$4$

For $x - y = 4$,we have $x = 4 + y$:
$x$$5$$4$$3$
$y$$1$$0$$-1$

By plotting these points on a graph,we observe that the lines intersect at the point $(7, 3)$.
Therefore,the number of girls is $7$ and the number of boys is $3$.
