Step-by-step explanation:

$8(x - 3) + 7 = 2x(4 - 17) \\ 8( \times - 3) + 7 = 2x( - 13) \\ 8x - 24 + 7 = - 26x \\ 8x - 17 = - 26x \\ - 17 = - 34x \\ x = \frac{1}{2}$

const2013 [10]

Answer:

1240 (I'm not so sure but per my calculation that is what i got)

Step-by-step explanation:

Boy : Girl

11 : 9

124 + x : x

11/9 = 124 + x / x

9(124 + x) = 11 x

1116 + 9x = 11x

1116 = 11x - 9x

1116 = 2x

x = 558

Thus, there are 558 girls in the school

Number of boys = 124 + x

= 124 + 558

= 682

Therefore, total number of students = 558 + 682 = 1240 students
