Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Write the equation you would use to find x, then solve for x.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x + 6x+10   + x+2 = 180

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

x + 6x+10   + x+2 = 180

Combine like terms

8x + 12 = 180

Subtract 12 from each side

8x+12-12 = 180-12

8x =168

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 168/8

x =21
