Answer:
x = 7, x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 intersecting chords, then
The product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord.
(1)
27x = 9 × 21 = 189 ( divide both sides by 27 )
x = 7
(2)
12(3x - 5) = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )
3x - 5 = 10 ( add 5 to both sides )
3x = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 5
2500 - 240 = 2260
2260/2= 1130 or female count 1130 + 240 = 1370 or male count\
1370 + 1130 = 2500
