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

Answer:

160 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Elan Coil [88]
So 9.42 is the circumference 9.42/3.14 is 3 and 3 is your diameter 1.5 is your radius and area is radius times radius then times pi so 1.5 x 1.5 = 2.25
2.25 x 3.14= 7.06500 so I believe your answer is about 7 units

Karolina [17]
Volume of 1st aquarium = 11 * 13 * 14 = 2002
volume of 2nd aquarium = 21 * 14 * 30 = 8820

if 5 minutes = 2002
1 minute = 2002\5 = 400.4

minutes to fill the 2nd aquarium is 8820/400.4 = 22.028(approximately)

Poonam is five times as old as Shalini. The sum of their ages is 72
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = poonams age

Let s = shalini's age

p = 5s

p+s = 72

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

5s+s = 72

Combine like terms

6s= 72

Divide by 6

6s/6 = 72/6

s = 12

p = 5s =5*12 = 60

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60
