Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -2
TU = 4
UB = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
you can add x^2 with 4x+10 and equate it to 6:
x^2 + 4x + 10 = 6
x^2 + 4x + 4
then u can use the roots formula : x = (-b ± √ (b2 - 4ac) )/2a
so it'll be x = {-4±[√16 - 4(4)]}/2
x= -2
then u can substitute it and find TU and UB
TU= (-2)^2 = 4
UB= 4(-2)+10 = 2
