So there are x girls and x-4 boys and together they make 28:

x+x-4=28
2x-4=28
2x=32
x=16

so there are 16 girls and 12 boys.

the ratio is then 16:12, or we can simplify (by dividing both sides by 4): 4:3

so the best answer is 4:3.

The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.

<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>

An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

Total Questions = 20

Total Points = 28

Correct Answers = +2 points

Incorrect Answers = -1 point

The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.

x+y = 20

for every correct answers 2 points;

and for every incorrect answers, -1 point

This can be written as

2x-y = 28

The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;

now

2x-y = 28

x+y = 20

On adding the equations

]3x = 48

x = 16

y = 4

This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly

The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.
