So first you would combine the like-terms so you get:

and combine the second like-terms:

now you only have a two step equation and you continue by doing the reciprocal and you add the -1/5 to the 24.8 where you get:
7/9x=24.6
then because the 7/9 is being multiplied by the x and your trying to isolate it you divide it by the 7/9 on both sides and you'll end up getting
x=31.628571429....
11 boys and 8 girls because you divide it in half the add 2 and subtract 1. That isn't the wy you are supposed to do it but it works and makes since in my head.
Answer:
12 3 0 3 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Just plug in each value in the table in as x so when you plug in -2 that would be 3(-2)^2. -2x-2=4. 4x3=12. :)
