The question in English is
In the ninth grade, 62.5% of girls and 80% of boys passed the mathematics course, while 87.5% of girls and 60% of boys passed the history course. Calculate the number of students in the classroom, if the total number of passes is 26 in both subjects

using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (16,20)
see the attached figure
therefore
