Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

3 infected           x infected

------------------ = ----------------

50 sampled     6750 population

Using cross products

3*6750 = 50x

Divide each side by 50

3*6750/50 = x

405

Classify the pair of angles. Then find the value of x.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

3) x = 50, vertical angles.

4) x = 20, supplementary angles

5) x = 14, complimentary angles

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>3)</h3>

<em>vertical angles.</em>

<em>vertical angles are equal.</em>

<em>so, you can make this equation:</em>

67 = x + 17

<em>subtract 17 from both sides of the equation</em>

67 - 17 = x + 17 - 17

67 - 17 = x

50 = x

<h3>4)</h3>

<em>supplementary angles</em>

<em>supplementary angles add up to 180</em>

<em>so, you can make this equation:</em>

7x + 40 = 180

<em>subtract 40 from both sides of the equation</em>

7x + 40 - 40 = 180 - 40

7x = 180 - 40

7x = 140

<em>divide both sides by 7</em>

7x/7 = 140/7

x = 140/7

x = 20

<h3>5)</h3>

<em>complimentary angles</em>

<em>complimentary angles add up to 90</em>

<em>so, you can make this equation:</em>

4x + 34 = 90

<em>subtract 34 from both sides of the equation</em>

4x + 34 - 34 = 90 - 34

4x = 90 - 34

4x = 56

<em>divide both sides by 4</em>

4x/4 = 56/4

x = 56/4

x = 14
