Answer:

91 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of boys to girls = 7 : 2 = 7x : 2x ( x is a multiplier )

There are 65 more boys than girls , thus

7x = 2x + 65 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5x = 65 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 13

There are 7 × 13 = 91 boys in the group

Determine whether the ordered air is s solution of the given system of equations, remember to use alphabetical order of variable
Igoryamba
Given your ordered pair you would assume a = 5, b = 2
Set up both equations 
5 + 2 = 7
7 = 7 (the numbers are equal so this correct)
2(5) - 8 = 2
10 - 8 = 2
2 = 2 (the numbers are equal so this is also correct)

Because both equations work with the ordered pair they <em>are</em><span> the solution of the given system.</span>
