So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a

Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys

50(7) = x
350 = x

There are 350 girls.

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

By the corresponding angle theorem, we can find that the measure of the smaller angle made by transversal and m is 54°.

Using the vertical angle theorem, we can find that the missing angle is the triangle, the two known angles are 4x and 2x, is also 54°.

Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°, we can make the equation:

2x + 4x + 54 = 180

Now we solve for x. Subtract 54 from both sides and combine like terms.

6x = 126

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 21

and now we have found the value of x. x = 21.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

PLEASEE help and make sure you give explaination. Question 4 I will give brainliest
attashe74 [19]
Assuming the wire starts at x=0, the first point is (0,-4) since using y = 3x - 4 :
3(0) - 4 = -4

the two points are (0,4) and (-3,4)
since the y values are the same, the distance is the positive difference between the x values:
-3 - 0 = -3
then,
the distance is 3 meters

each meter costs $125, so multiply the cost by the amount of meters to find the total:
125 x 3 = 375

the total cost is $375
