Add both amounts together but both multiplied by an unknown value, x.
3x+5x=600
8x=600
8x/8=600/8
x=75
3(75)=225
225 boys
5(75)=375
375 girls

225 boys and 375 girls

What is the x-intercepts of the graph of y = 12x-5x-2
hammer [34]
Y = 12x - 5x - 2

first simplify the equation by subtracting like terms (in this case):

12x - 5x = 7x

y = 7x - 2

Since you are finding the x, you must isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.(Note: because there is a equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other)

y = 7x - 2

y (+2) = 7x - 2 (+2)
y + 2 = 7x
(y + 2)/7 = 7x/7

x = (y + 2)/7


x = (y + 2)/7 is your answer

hope this helps
