Well, first we should represent what the table is saying. Let's represent x as male students, and y as female students. We know that there are 5 times as many right handed females, as left handed females. Making y the female left handed students, and 5y the female right handed students. Now we identify the same for the male students, making x the left handed male students and 9x the right handed students. Now that we have all our information, we can set up our equations x + y = 12 9x + 5y = 122 Now we just have to solve the system

ScamTheMan:

I just realized it's x + y = 18, not 12

xxemilianaxx:

x+y would be 18

xxemilianaxx:

ok so if i did the meth right 50 over 122 which to the nearest thousandth is 0.410 soo the answer would be a I THINK I DID THT RIGHT

ScamTheMan:
