The correct answer is 50:1 I got that one right!
K:A
5:3 (before)
15:9
since the total number of stamps didn't change, the total ratio should be the same.
7:5(after)
14:10
so this means 1 unit is 10stamps.
14-10=4
4 X 10= 40
Kaye have 40 more stamps than Alberto.
First, disregard the sign for absolute value and solve for x.
2x - 1 = 3x + 5
2x - 3x = 5 + 1
-x = 6
x = -6
Now, you have to interpret the absolute value. The absolute value of x is always the positive version of whatever the number is. Since x = -6, its absolute value is 6. Therefore, the possible value for x is only one, which is 6.
The answer to the question is $5.40
