Answer:

1100

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole school population is represented by 100%, thus

number of girls = 100% - 55 = 45% of population

divide 900 by 45 to find 1% then multiply by 55 to find number of boys

number of boys = $\frac{900}{45}$ × 55 = 1100

What is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

<h3>QUESTION: </h3>

what is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

<h3>ANSWER AND SOLUTION: </h3>

SOLVING FOR X

Reduce first the fraction with 9

$\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{ \cancel9}{ \cancel{27}}$

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{x}{9} = \dfrac{1}{3}$ 

Now simplify using cross-multiply

 $\large \sf = \dfrac{3x}{9} = 1$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 1 \times 9$ 

 $\large \sf = 3x = 9$ 

Lastly divide both sides

 $\large \sf = 3x \div 3 = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 9 \div 3$ 

 $\large \sf = x = 3$ 

<h3>FINAL ANSWER:</h3>

$\huge \orange{ \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 3}}}}$

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$-x^3+7x^2-6x-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property: $(-x+3)(x^2-4x-6)$

What is -x * x^2? Answer: -x^3

What is 3 * x^2? Answer: +3x^2

What is -x * -4x? Answer: +4x^2

What is 3* -4x? Answer: -12x

What is -x * -6? Answer: +6x

What is 3 * -6? Answer: -18

$-x^3+3x^2+4x^2-12x+6x-18$

Combine like terms, and your answer would be....

$-x^3+7x^2-6x-18$

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!
