Answer: 151 boys and 175 girls

Step-by-step explanation: You subtract 24 from 326 to balance out the amount of boys and girls. Then you divide 302 (326 - 24) by 2 and you'll get 151. At this point there are 151 boys and 151 girls, so you need to add the remaining 24 girls; so you add 24 to 151 giving you 175 girls.

What is the value of x????

inysia [295]

If QR is a median, then:

$\dfrac{NO+MP}{2}=QR$

We have NO = 30, MP = 9x - 42 and QR = x + 15. Substitute:

$\dfrac{30+9x-42}{2}=x+15\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\9x-12=2x+30\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\9x=2x+42\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\7x=42\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\\\boxed{x=6}$
