Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{a-x}{x-a}=5x\\\\\dfrac{(a-x)}{-(a-x)}=5x\qquad\text{cancel}\ (a-x)\\\\-1=5x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5}\to\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}

There are four times as many girls in a chemistry class as there are boys. if there are 45 students in the class, how many boys
puteri [66]
In order to determine the number of boys in the class, first, we set-up an algebraic equation. Let x = number of boys in the class. The equation is then: x + 4x = 45. This is because the number of girls is 4 times greater than the number of boys. After solving the algebraic equation, it is then determined that there are 9 boys in the Chemistry class.
