3/4x=1/5x+22
\n" ); document.write( "3x/4-x/5=22
\n" ); document.write( "(3x*5-x*4)/4*5=22
\n" ); document.write( "(15x-4x)/20=22 cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "11x=20*22
\n" ); document.write( "11x=440
\n" ); document.write( "x=440/11
\n" ); document.write( "x=40 ans. for the number of students.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "3/4*40=1/5*40+22
\n" ); document.write( "120/4=40/5+22
\n" ); document.write( "30=8+22
\n" ); document.write( "30=30\r
