In the first table, y = 4x. So y is proportional to x.
In the second table, y is not proportional to x.
In the third table, 2y = 3x. So, y is proportional to x.
So firstly, <u>the factor (4n - 5) cannot be further factored, so we will be focusing on 2n² + 5n + 3.</u>
So for this, we will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6n² and a sum of 5n? That would be 2n and 3n. Replace 5n with 2n + 3n:

Next, factor 2n² + 2n and 3n + 3 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

Now we can rewrite this expression as<u>
, which is your final answer.</u>
You could understand the ration as parts: the total number of parts was 3+7=10.
So girls were 3/10 parts and boys 7/10 parts. The difference was 7-3=4 parts. this difference is equal to 360, so each part is 90 (4*90 =360).
so girls are "3 parts" and each part is 90, then the number of girls is 3*90=270.
