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
Second side= x
First side = 2x
Third side = x+5
x+2x+x+5=49
4x=44
x=11
1st side= 22
2nd side = 11
3rd side = 16
Answer:
-365
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+7(-6-50)
- -3(-9)+7(-6-50)
- 27+7(-6-50)
- 27-42-350
- -15-350
- =-365
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Two secants drawn from an external point to the circle.
The (outside ) × (whole) of one secant is equal to the (outside) × (whole) of the other secant, that is
(x + 2)(x + 2 + 2x - 8) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 2x - 5)
(x + 2)(3x - 6) = (x + 1)(3x - 4) ← expand both sides using FOIL
3x² - 12 = 3x² - x - 4 ( subtract 3x² - x - 4 from both sides )
x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
x = 8
-3(5/6)v - 1 = -6(3/4)
To start off, we can simplify by multiplying the fractions with their whole numbers.
-15/6x - 1 = -18/4
Further simplify
-5/2x - 1 = -9/2
Now we can multiply everything times 2 to get rid of the fractions
-5x - 2 = -9
Now we will isolate the x value. Add 2 to both sides.
-5x = -7
Finally, divide all by -5 to get the final answer.
x = 7/5
