30 students.....14 are boys...that means (30 - 14) = 16 are girls
if 2 boys are dropped......14 - 2 = 12 boys
and 2 girls are added......16 + 2 = 18 girls
fraction of the class that are boys is : 12/30 which reduces to 2/5 <==

Answer:
D) b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, move all the terms that do not include b to the left side with S:
S = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
S - 2ac = 2ab + 2bc
Now, factor out 2b from the right side:
S - 2ac = 2b(a + c)
Divide both sides by 2(a + c):
b = 
Finally, multiply out the denominator:
b = 
The first one is 43/72 which can’t be simplified
The second one is 17/18
Well the solution to this problem is x < -4
