Hello there!
So the equation I would use for this word problem is 3(s+5)=45.
3s+15=45
-15 -15
__________
3s=30
Divide 3 from both sides.
s ends up equaling 1.
Each stuffed animal elephant cost $10
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:
