Medium Word Problems Algebraic Reasoning

In a school play, the total number of students participating is 24. The number of boys is represented by b and the number of girls is represented by g. If there are 6 more boys than girls, which of the following equations represents this situation?

Additionally, what is the value of g?

$b + g = 24$ and $b = g + 6$

$b + g = 30$ and $b = g + 6$

$b + g = 24$ and $b = g - 6$

$b + g = 30$ and $b = g - 6$
