Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is when y =0, you are looking for a point (x, 0)
So you replace y = 0 in the equation
4x - 3y = - 24
4x - 3(0) = - 24
4x = - 24
x = - 6
y = -5x + 1
[y = mx + b "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)]
So your slope is -5, and your y-intercept is 1 or (0,1)

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-).
Run is the number of units you go to the right.
Since your slope is -5 or
, you go down 5 units, and to the right 1 unit.
1:3 is the ratio to boys and girls. I know that 1/4 must be girls. 3/4 will be boys.
Divide 236 by 4.
236/4= 59
Multiply that by 3.
59*3= 177
177 of the students are boys.
I hope this helps!
