Ascience class is a total of 41 students. the number of males is 17 more than the number of females. how many miles and how many females are in the class?

There are 29 males and 12 females in science class

Given that a science class is a total of 41 students

Also given that number of males is 17 more than the number of female

So, number of males = 17 + number of female  --- eqn 1

To find : number of males and number of females in class

Total number of students in class = number of males + number of females

41 = number of males + number of females

Substituting eqn 1 in above equation

41 =  17 + number of female + number of females

41 = 17 + 2( number of females)

2( number of females) = 24

number of females =

Thus from eqn 1 we get,

number of males = 17 + number of female = 17 + 12

number of males = 29

Thus there are 29 males and 12 females in science class

the correct answer is the second option

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
