Answer:

x = 128°

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 360 - 232

x = 128°

inessss [21]

Let
x-------> the probability that a boy is chosen
B------> number of boys in the debate team
G------> number of girls in the debate team

we know that
B+G=20-----> G=20-B-----> equation 1
probability that a boy is chosen=number of boys in the debate team/total of people
so
x=B/20-------> equation 2

the probability that a girl is chosen is 2/3 the probability that a boy is chosen
probability that a girl is chosen=(2/3)*x
probability that a girl is chosen=G/20
(2/3)*x=G/20-----> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 3
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20----> equation 4

resolve the equations system
x=B/20
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=0.6
B=12
G=20-12-----> G=8

number of boys in the debate team is 12
number of girls in the debate team is 8
the probability that a boy is chosen is 0.6 ----> 60%
the probability that a girl is chosen is 0.6*(2/3)----> 0.4---> 40%

the answer is
number of girls in the debate team is 8
