Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)
A ----------------B-----------C
We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).
With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC
So,
3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9
7x - 4 = 8x - 9
5 = x

no worries :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: there are 5 more girls than boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 5:6. The total ratio is the sum of the proportion. It becomes 5 + 6 = 11
If there are 55 students in total, it means that the number of boys in the class is
5/11 × 55 = 25 boys
Also, the number of girls in the class is
6/11 × 55 = 30 girls
Therefore, the difference between the number of girls and boys in the class is
30 - 25 = 5 girls
