Alright, this is a fairly simple equation if you consider the overall question. As the question states, every 5 of out 7 students voted in the election. This means that five sevenths of all students in the school casted a vote.

Now, what can we do with this information? Well, we know that there were 1095 votes in total. This means that five sevenths of the school who voted represents 1095 students.

Can you see the equation you need to write now? Let's use a simple equation with the variable 's' to represent the total number of students:

$\frac{5}{7}$ * s = 1095

As I elaborated earlier, this equation essentially means "5/7 of the entire student population is 1095 students." Now, we just need to isolate the variable 's' to get our final answer.

To get rid of the denominator, let's multiply both sides by 7:

$\frac{5s}{7}$ * 7 = 1095 * 7

5s = 7665

Finish it off by dividing both sides by 5 to get rid of s's coefficient:

$\frac{5s}{5}$ = $\frac{7665}{5}$

s = 1533

There are 1533 total students in the school

And that's it! If you have any questions about how I solved it, feel free to ask!

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
