Ok so if you did 156-6 (considering it was 6 more you want to subtract it) and then because the girls was doubled the boys (you are now at 150) you must divide that by 3 which will give you 50. But you need to double it (for girls) which is 100 and then you have 50 left over which is for the boys. Boys=50 girls=106
1/8 of 32 is 4 so if Ryan is 4 then Brandon is 2
so Ryan = 4 and Brandon = 2
B=7
3(b-4)+5b=44
3b-12+5b=44
8b=44+12
8b=56
b=7
