Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)Find the amount of women within the 120 people in the meeting. So 3/10*120 , you get 36.

2.)Add 24 to 120 to get the new amount of people in the room. So 144.

3.)Using the new ratio 11:5 , find the amount of total women out of 144 people . So 5/16*144 , you get 45.

4.)Now minus the 2 amounts of initial women from the amount of total new women , to get the difference to find out how many women are there in the 24 people. So 45-36 , you get 9

Look at the picture.

ΔABD and ΔBCD are similar, therefore:

$\dfrac{y}{5}=\dfrac{11}{y}\ \ \ |\cross\ multiply\\\\y^2=55\to y=\sqrt{55}$

Use Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2=5^2+(\sqrt{55})^2\\\\x^2=25+55\\\\x^2=80\to x=\sqrt{80}\\\\x=\sqrt{16\cdot5}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt5\\\\\boxed{x=4\sqrt5}$
