We need to solve the problem by algebra which is taught in most schools.

In algebra, most of the time, we call the number we're looking for as "x", which we don't know yet. Using "x", we formulate an equation according to what is given, which is O has 32 stamps, and S has 154.

When each of them bought x stamps, O has 32+x, and S has 154+x.

We're also told that S now has 3 times as many as O, so the equation goes

154+x = 3(32+x) .......(1) from which x can be solved.

We first expand both sides.

154+x = 96+3x (called the distribution property)

Now subtract x from each side,

154+x-x=96+3x-x => 154 = 96+2x

Now subtract 96 from each side, and simplify as above

154-96 = 2x

simplify again

58=2x

divide by two on each side,

x=29.

Let's check: 3*(32+29)=3*(61)=183 = 154+29, so the answer is correct.

Since they bought EACH 29 stamps, the bought a total of 2*29=58 stamps (which happens to be the difference of number of stamps at the beginning).

Logan is a land surveyor. He wants to determine d, the distance across a lake that cannot be directly measured. He draws this di
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The first option     (5.7km)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a right angle triangle and we know two of its sides we can easily find out the thirds side (the value of d) by using the Pathagoras Theorem. In our case 7 and d are our legs and the hypotenuse is equal to 9, so...

(Based on the Pathagoras Theorem)

c^{2} = a^{2}  + b^{2}

9^{2} = 7^{2} + d^{2}

d^{2} = 9^{2} - 7^{2} \\d^{2} = 81 - 49\\d^{2} = 32\\d = \sqrt{32}\\

d ≈ 5.7km

There for aproximate distance across the lake is equal to 5.7km
