Very interesting. Never seen this before lol.
The greatest common factor of 14x-24 is 2. So it would be 7x - 12
If we take ratio of3:2 many possible answers are possible. Moreover if you give me a total of how many students are there in total then i may give you a fixed no.
Without any fixed no. Ration can be anything like
30:20
15:10
X^2 - 7x + 12 = 0
x^2 - 4x - 3x + 12 = 0
x (x - 4) -3 ( x - 4) = 0
(x - 4) (x - 3) = 0
x = 3 , 4
Check the answer by plugging in 3 and 4 for x, if the equation equals zero then you have your answer.
7.6x = 64
7.6/7.6
Therfore, x = 64/7.16
x = 8.938
