Remark

The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136

Step One

Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8

Alex = 3/8 * 136

Alex = 408/8 = 51

Step 2

Find the number that Freddy has.

The total is 136

<u>Formula</u>

Freddy = Total - Alex

Freddy = 136 - 51

Freddy = 85

<u>Check</u>

Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85

5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.

Difference

Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.

Two boards are 26 meters long altogether. One board is 8 meters long. How long is the other board?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
I think the answer is 18 because together, they are 26 meters and one is 8 so u have to subtract the total with 8 which is 26-8. the answer to that would be 18.

Which equation is equivalent to log Subscript 3 Baseline (x + 5) = 2?
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct option is right-bracket squared 3 squared =x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option a: \log _{3}(x+5)=3^{2}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option a is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option b: \log _{3}(x+5)=2^{3}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option b is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option c: x+5=3^{2}

This is possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option c is equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Option b: x+5=2^{3}

This is not possible because using logarithmic rule, if \log _{a} b=c then b=a^{c}

Hence, option b is not equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2

Thus, the correct option is c: x+5=3^{2}

Hence, the equation x+5=3^{2} is equivalent to \log _{3}(x+5)=2
