Let the number of girls be x and the number of boys be y
The number of boys is the same as the number of girls.
x = y
The number of boys is twice the number of girls when 8 girls left.
2(x - 8) = y
x = y ---------------- (1)
2(x - 8) = y -------- (2)
Sub (1) into (2)
2(y - 8) = y
2y - 16 = y
2y - y = 16
y = 16
There were 16 boys and 16 girls initially.
16 + 16 = 32
There were a total of 32 students in the class initially.

Answer:
= x^2 + 17/2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x2+(x+7)(x+1)
Distribute:
=x2+(x)(x)+(x)(1)+(7)(x)+(7)(1)
=12x+x2+x+7x+7
Combine Like Terms:
=12x+x2+x+7x+7
=(x2)+(12x+x+7x)+(7)
=x2+172x+7
Answer:
12.01 sticks of satay
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Total satay bought = x
Eldest child ate = 1/6x
Youngest child ate = 0.25x
Total = 1/6x + 0.25x
= 0.167x + 0.25x
= 0.417x
Remaining satay = x - 0.417x
= 0.583x
The rest of the satay was shared equally between her other 2 children where each person ate 14 sticks of satay.
Her and her other two children = 3 people
Sticks of satay pee person = 14
Total sticks eaten by 3 people = 14 × 3
= 42 sticks
0.583x = 42
x = 42/0.583
= 72.04
x = 72.04 sticks
Total satay bought = x = 72.04 sticks
Eldest child ate = 1/6x
= 1/6 * 72.04
= 12.01 sticks of satay
