Greetings. I recently came across the problem: "A class has three fewer girls than boys. If the ratio of girls to boys is 4 to 5, how many students are in the class?" The answer was 27 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

brainliest pls

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls = boys - 3

girls / boys = 4/5

Substitute (boys - 3) in for girls

boys - 3 / boys = 4/5            Cross multiply

5(boys - 3) = 4* boys            Remove the brackets

5boys - 15 = 4boys               Subtract 5 boys from both sides.

-5boys          -5boys

- 15   = - boys                       Multiply both sides by - 1

15 = boys

Girls = boys - 3

girls = 15 - 3

girls = 12

Total 15 + 12

total = 27

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.

answer: i don't understand it
