Answer:
7 are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations where g is for girls and b is for boys.
b+g=26
g=3b-2
Substitute "3b-2" in for "g" in the first equation.
b+(3b-2)=26
Rewrite without the parentheses because it's addition and not multiplication.
b+3b-2=26
Combine like terms.
4b-2=26
Add 2 to both sides.
4b=28
Divide by the coefficient of the variable to get it alone.
b=7
The correct answer is D, -5 1/3.
The reason is that on a number line -3 1/4 would be placed to the right of -5 1/3.
The further you are to the right on the number line, the bigger the number.
Suppose that the value of other ratio is equal to 6/3 then,
20/3x-8 = 6/3
18x-48 = 60
18x = 60+48
18x = 108
x = 6
