System of Equations

Let's call:

b = Number of boys who went to Disneyland this weekend.

g = Number of girls who went to Disneyland this weekend.

The first condition states there was a total of 6,405 people who went to Disneyland this weekend, thus:

The second condition states that the ratio of boys to girls is 7 to 9. This can be written as:

To eliminate denominators, multiply [2] by 9g:

Simplify:

From [1]:

Substituting into [3]

Operating:

Simplify:

Solve:

Take the approximate value:

g=3,603

Find b:

2,802 boys and 3,693 girls went to Disneyland this weekend

Note: Due to the nature of the problem, the results had to be rounded to the nearest integer. This condition makes the ratio not being exactly as required.

w'x is 0.

hope it

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
