Answer:
x= -24
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/4x-2/3x= -6+28
add -6 to 28 but since 6 is a negative its subtraction
-1/4x-2/3x=22
multiply all by 12
-3x-8x=264
add -3x to -8x
-11x=264
divide both sides by -11
x= -24
42-14= 28
28÷2=14
answer: there are 14 females in the class and 28 males in the class
Check:14+28=42
First
angle in front of c is 30°, so hypotenuse is equal to 2c
it's right triangle, so let's use Pythagorean theorem\

Second
b - the base of the triangle, angles at the base are equal ⇒ cathets are equal
it's right triangle, so let's use Pythagorean theorem

X² = hyp² - cat²
x² = 625 - 156.25
x² = 468.75
x ≈ 21,6
