Well I don't know. Let's figure it out together.
You said (a number) divided by 12 gives you 9 .
A fraction is the easiest way to show division, so
you can write this equation:
(number) / 12 = 9
Now you can multiply each side of the equation by 12 .
When you do that, you have ...
number = 9 x 12
<em>number = 108</em> .
Now you know how to find it. That's even better than just
having the answer.
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
Mean is equal to sum/ number of values
27+3+2+25+5=62
62/5=12.4
Final answer: D, 12.4 years
Answer:
it has one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
1.y=x-3
2. 3y-3x sub x-3 in place of y therefore
it can also be written as 3x-3x-9=9
if you add 9 to both sides 3x-3x-9+9=-9+9
0+0=0
