using pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(12x)^2 + (16x)^2 = 10^2
square each term
144x^2 + 256x^2 = 100
combine like terms
400 x^2 = 100
divide by 400 on each side
x^2 = 1/4
take the square root on each side
x = 1/2
Answer: x=1/2
<span>12+3(8+x)
= 12 + 24 + 3x
= 3x + 36</span>

Answer:
Its not an example of an even number?
Step-by-step explanation:
Kind of an odd question, but i think its right. ;)
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.
