Answer:
15 boys and 25 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:
g + b = 40
The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:
2b - 5 = g
First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b
Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:
2b-5 = 40-b
Which simplifies to:
2b + b = 40 + 5
3b = 45
b = 15
g = 40-15 = 25
15 boys, 25 girls.
45 is 9% of 500!

You're trying to find constants

such that

. Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

To solve

, multiply both sides by the transpose of

, which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

Computing this, you'd find that

which means the first choice is correct.
