Answer:

Therefore the value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

△ABC ≅ △DEF,

EF = x 2 - 7, and

BC = 4x - 2.

To Find:

the values of x. = ?

Solution:

△ABC ≅ △DEF      ........Given

If two Triangles are congruent then the Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

∴ BC ≅ EF   ...................CPCTC

Substituting the values we get

4x-2=x^{2}-7\\x^{2}-4x-5=0

Now By Factorizing we get

x^{2}-5x+x-5=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)=0\\(x+1)(x-5)=0\\x+1=0\ or\ x-5=0\\x=-1\ or\ x=5\\x\ cannot\ be\ negative\\\therefore x=5

Therefore the value of x is 5.

Gareth 30 students in a class and the ratio of boys to girls in the class is 2:3 calculate the number of goals
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

<em>There are 12 boys and 18 girls</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

There are 30 students in a class. Let's call:

x = number of boys

Since the sum of boys and girls is 30:

30 - x = number of girls

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{30-x}=\frac{2}{3}

Crossing denominators:

3x = 2(30 - x)

Operating the parentheses:

3x = 60 - 2x

Adding 2x:

5x = 60

Dividing by 5:

x = 60/5 = 12

x = 12

There are 12 boys and 30-12=18 girls
