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
Answer:
C :She is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum
Answer: x=2
3x−9x+7−3=−8
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x−9x+7−3=−8
3x+−9x+7+−3=−8
(3x+−9x)+(7+−3)=−8
−6x+4=−8
−6x+4=−8
−6x+4−4=−8−4
−6x=−12
