Answer:

#19: Let's represent the number of boy students as x. Then the number of girl students would be x + 150. The total number of students at the school is 1250, so we have:

x + (x + 150) = 1250

Expanding and simplifying the equation:

2x + 150 = 1250

2x = 1100

x = 550

So, there are 550 boy students and 700 girl students at Ranger University.

#20: Let's represent the price of a soda as S and the price of a popcorn as P. Then we can write the following two equations to represent the information given:

2S + 4P = 34

3S + 3P = 33

Solving for S in the first equation, we have:

S = (34 - 4P)/2

Substituting this expression for S into the second equation, we have:

3((34 - 4P)/2) + 3P = 33

Expanding and solving for P, we have:

P = 2

So, the price of one soda is $17 and the price of one popcorn is $2.
