Ratio is 5girls:7boys with total 72 students
5+7= 12
72➗12= 6
6(5:7)= 30 girls : 42 boys
New ratio is 3:4 with 48 boys
48➗4= 12
So for girls 3x12= 36
So started with 30 girls ended with 36 girls... 6 girls joined band during the school year.
Plugging in the numbers 7x - 2y = 39 fitted and made sense
Standard form Ax + By = C
so
<span>(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
</span>given (5, -7) and m = -1/5
so
y + 7 = -1/5(x - 5)
-5y - 35 = x - 5
x + 5y = -30
answer
d. x + 5y = -30
Zoom in I think I know this
