Number of boys in the gym class = 12
Number of girls in the gym class = 10
then
Ratio of boys to ratio of girls = 12:10
                                               = 6:5
Now
Number of boys joining the gym class later = 6
So after the new boys join the number of boys in the gym class becomes = 18
The ratio of boys to girls have to remain the same
Let us assume that the number of girls that need to join the gym class = x
Then
6/5 = 18/(x + 10)
6(x + 10) = 18 * 5
6x + 60 = 90
6x = 90 - 60
6x = 30
x = 30/6
   = 5
So the number of girls that need to join the gym class to keep the ratio same is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

So 12 and 10
if 6 boys joined then it is now
12+6=18
so we now need to have
12:10=18:x
solve for x
convert to fraction
12/10=18/x
multiply both sides by x
12x/10=18
multiply both sides by 10
12x=180
divide both sides by 12
x=15
so from 10 to 15 is a difference of 5 so 5 girls need to join

the answe ris 5

What is the measure of the missing angle?​
goblinko [34]

Answer:

<u>The missing angle measures also 110°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that If the transversal cuts across parallel lines (apparently, this particular case) then those alternate exterior angles have the same measure (.∠ 110° and ∠?) So in the figure given, the two alternate exterior angles measure the same.

<u>The missing angle measures also 110°</u>

The sum of two polynomials is 10a2b2 – 8a2b 6ab2 – 4ab 2. if one addend is –5a2b2 12a2b – 5, what is the other addend? 15a2b2 –
Brrunno [24]

The other polynomial addend, when the sum of two polynomials is 10a2b2 – 8a2b 6ab2 – 4ab  is 15a²b²- 20a²b + 6ab² - 4ab + 7.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial equations is the expression in which the highest power of the unknown variable is n (n is real number).

The sum of two polynomials is,

10a^2b^2 - 8a^2b+ 6ab^2 - 4ab+2

The one polynomial addend is,

-5a^2b^2 +12a^2b - 5

Let suppose the other polynomial addend is f(a,b). Thus,

(-5a^2b^2 +12a^2b - 5)+f(a,b)=(10a^2b^2 - 8a^2b+ 6ab^2 - 4ab+2)

Isolate the second polynomial as,

f(a,b)=(10a^2b^2 - 8a^2b+ 6ab^2 - 4ab+2)-(-5a^2b^2 +12a^2b - 5)\\f(a,b)=10a^2b^2 - 8a^2b+ 6ab^2 - 4ab+2+5a^2b^2 -12a^2b + 5

Arrange the like terms as,

f(a,b)=10a^2b^2+5a^2b^2 - 8a^2b -12a^2b+ 6ab^2 - 4ab + 2+5\\f(a,b)=15a^2b^2- 20a^2b + 6ab^2 - 4ab + 7

Hence, the other polynomial addend, when the sum of two polynomials is 10a2b2 – 8a2b 6ab2 – 4ab  is 15a²b²- 20a²b + 6ab² - 4ab + 7.
