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).

A hot air balloon hovers 75 feet above the ground. The balloon is tethered to the ground
DIA [1.3K]

Angle of elevation is 37°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As we have the opposite side 75 ft to the angle and the hypotenuse 125 ft, we can find the sine value as,

sin θ = opp/ hyp

       = 75/125

     = 0.6

θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6) = 36.9°≈ 37°

So angle of elevation is 37°.

An Antique Collector want to know the age of a particular chair in a shop Statistical or not statistical
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{Not \ Statistical}}

Step By Step Explanation:

Statistical: A survey, branch or mathematics consisting of data collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation.

A statistical question deals with social problems, people, or something that must be studied and data gained. Statistical questions must have data sets and data gained. They also must have answers that vary from side to side or opinion to opinion, in order to be qualified as a 'statistical question'.

"<u><em>An Antique Collector wants to know the age or a particular chair in a shop</em></u>"

                                                V

Statistical                       Not Statistical

\boxed{\bold{>}} This is not a statistical question because there is no data that needs to be collected, no surveys that need to be filled out and no analysis, interpretation and presentation. The answer to this question does not vary. It is simply a fact.
