{Hello,\;There!}

They already give you the number of boys {14}, so all you need to do is subtract 30 - 14 which will give you the ratio of girls.

It does this because 14 takes up \frac{14}{30} of the seventh grade class.

\text{30 - 14 = 16}

  So your answer is going to be 14:16 un-simplified.

  However, since they ask you to put it in the simplest terms, we are going to simplify \frac{14}{16}.

  You can do this by dividing both numbers by 2.

=  \frac{14 \div 2}{16 \div 2}=\frac{7}{8}

\bold{So\;your\;answer\;is\;going\;to\;be}

= \frac{7}{8} or \text{7:8}

\rule{300}{1.0}

(WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Solve for x.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

−2(−9x+5)−4x=2(x−5)−4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(−9x+5)−4x=2(x−5)−4

(−2)(−9x)+(−2)(5)+−4x=(2)(x)+(2)(−5)+−4(Distribute)

18x+−10+−4x=2x+−10+−4

(18x+−4x)+(−10)=(2x)+(−10+−4)(Combine Like Terms)

14x+−10=2x+−14

14x−10=2x−14

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

14x−10−2x=2x−14−2x

12x−10=−14

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

12x−10+10=−14+10

12x=−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by 12.

12x

12

=

−4

12

x= -1/3

If sec theta = - √30 / 3, find cos theta.<br> if sin(-theta) = -0.97, find cos (π/2 - theta).
Cloud [144]

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos \theta  =  \frac{1}{ \sec\theta }  =  -  \frac{3}{ \sqrt{30} }  =  -  \frac{3 \sqrt{30} }{30}   =  -  \frac{ \sqrt{30} }{10}

\cos( \frac{\pi}{2} -  \theta )=  \cos \frac{\pi}{2}  \cos \theta  +   \sin \frac{\pi}{2}  \sin \theta

Note that

\sin( - \theta) =  -  \sin \theta

\cos \frac{\pi}{2}  = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sin \frac{\pi}{2}  = 1

Therefore,

\cos( \frac{\pi}{2} -  \theta )  = 0.97
