E =
=
5e + 3f = -36
-e + 2f = 2
f = 1

e = -6

f = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the elimination method and multiplied the second equation by 5 to get:

  -5e + 10f = 10.  Added this to:

+  5e + 3f = -36

13f = -26

f = -2

now find e:  -e - 4 = 2

-e = 6

e = -6

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female
