Answer:
11x + 8 +8x +12 =27 (drop the parenthesis, there's no actual need for them)
19x +20 =27 (i combined like terms and then subtracted 20 from both sides)
19x = 7 (divide both sides by 19 to get x alone)
x= 7/19 or 0.36842105 (the answer)

on what
How many males and how many females would there be if the total enrollment is 15000?
Ratio is
90 males 15000 - x
------------- = ---------------
125 fem x
Then 90x = 1875000 - 125x, or 215x = 1875000
x = approx 8720 females
and 15000-8720, or 6279 males
If every male finds a dance partner, that would leave (8720-6279) females, or 2440, without dance partners. ;(
Check: is the male:female ratio near 90:125?
Is 6279:8720 approx equal to 90:125?
Yes. 0.72 (approx) = 0.72 (approx).
