You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R/L = 9/2
x = right handed
y = left handed
---
x/y = 9/2
x = (9/2)y
x + y = 352
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - (9/2)y = 0
x + y = 352
---
x - 4.5y = 0
x + y = 352
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

The ratio of right handed students to left handed students is 9:2. There are 352 students in the school. How many students are right handed how man students are left handed 
Ratio of 9:2 signifies 11 (9 + 2) parts

Right-handed students: %289%2F11%29+%2A+352, or highlight_green%28288%29

Left-handed students:  352 - 288, or %282%2F11%29+%2A+352, or highlight_green%2864%29

You can do the check!!
