Answer: Eric has 20 stickers
=========================================================
Explanation:
x = number of stickers Sally starts with
y = number of stickers Eric has
x/y is the ratio of the two values. This ratio is 3/5. So x/y = 3/5 which cross multiplies to 5x = 3y. We can divide both sides by 5 to end up with x = 3y/5
"Sally the bought another six stickers" meaning she starts with x and bumps up to x+6. Eric's sticker count stays the same. The ratio is now (x+6)/y. We can replace the x with 3y/5 and simplify
(x+6)/y = (3y/5+6)/y
(x+6)/y = (3y/5+30/5)/y
(x+6)/y = [ (3y+30)/5 ]/y
(x+6)/y = (3y+30)/(5y)
Now set this equal to the new ratio 9/10 and solve for y
(3y+30)/(5y) = 9/10
10(3y+30) = 9(5y) ... cross multiply
30y+300 = 45y
300 = 45y-30y
300 = 15y
15y = 300
y = 300/15
y = 20
Eric has 20 stickers. At this point you can stop as your teacher doesn't seem to want to know Sally's count. However, I'll keep going to show how to get that value.
x = 3y/5
x = 3*20/5 ... replace y with 20
x = 60/5
x = 12
Sally starts off with 12 stickers. Note how x/y = 12/20 = 3/5 meaning that the ratio x:y = 12:20 reduces to 3:5 (divide both parts by 4)
If we add 6 stickers to Sally's count, then she now has x+6 = 12+6 = 18 stickers. It leads to the ratio 18:20 = 9:10 (divide both parts by 2). So the answer is confirmed.
270,000 Because what you do is take the number and just look at the number behind the 6 and it was five so you rise.
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
If you distribute 6 and 8 through the parentheses you get
24s+72= 24s-112
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation.
72=-122
There are no values of s that make the equation true. No solution.

Answer:
-6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-14+12+9z-16z=0
-6-7z=0
Add 7z to both sides
-6=7z
Divide both sides by 7
z=-6/7
Therefore the value for z is -6/7
