Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:5

let the number of boys be 2x -------(i)

and number of girls be 5x

and the total number of students is 21

therefore we know that..

2x+5x = 21

on solving for x,

7x=21

x= 21/7

x=3

now, by putting the value of x in (i),

2x = 2×3 = 6

therefore, there are 6 boys in the classroom.

you find the no. of girls similarly.

hope it helps !!...

X+5/x^2+x-12 <br> What are the restrictions for x
soldier1979 [14.2K]

x ≠ - 4, 3

the denominator of the fraction cannot equal zero as this would make the fraction undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be

solve x² + x - 12 = 0

(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0

equate each factor to zero abd solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

restrictions on x are : x ≠ - 4, 3
