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:

2√3 = hypotenuse

√3 = side

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2} } = 2x \\\sqrt{9 +x^{2} } = 2x\\9+x^{2} =(2x)^{2} \\9+x^{2} = 4x^{2} \\9 = 4x^{2} - x^{2} = 3x^{2} \\3 = x^{2}\\\sqrt{3} = x\\\\2x = 2\sqrt{3}\\

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 67 questions on an exam

You miss 8 questions
