3x-8 is just an expression. It is in it's simplest form, unless you forgot to write down the rest of the problem. If so post it and I'll try to answer it.

lauren counted 27 students in the cafeteria the ratio of students that packed their lunch to those who bought lunch was 4:5 how

Nadya [2.5K]

27 students is basically the sum of their ratios 4:5

We can define the proportion with an arbitary variable x ->

4x:5x

Which is the ratio of packed to bought lunch. Therefore, 4x + 5x = 9x. 9x =27
x=3

The students that bought their lunch were the 5x group, therefore 15 students bought lunch.
