Answer: There are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls then according to the question we have the following equations :-

x+y=17...............................(1)\\\\7x+11y=147...........................(2)

The value of y from (1) will be

y=17-x , substitute this in equation (2), we get

7x+11(17-x)=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 7x+187x-11x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 187-4x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=147-187\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

∴ y=17-10=7

Hence, there are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

Slope 8 ​; through ​(4​,3​)
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y=8x-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope (m) is 8, we can plug it in the slope-intercept formula y=mx+b, making y=8x+b.

Now we need to find the y-intercept (b). To do that, you would need to plug in the points given to you, which were (4,3).

x=4, y=3... so 3=8(4)+b

Now you can solve for the variable b to find the y-intercept.

3=8(4)+b, multiply...

3=32+b, subtract 32 on both sides...

-29=b

Therefore, the y-intercept, or b, is -29.

The equation would be y=8x-29
