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

Tyrell has a bankruptcy on his credit report and therefore pays higher interest rates on his current loans. he calculates that t
vova2212 [387]

Based on the simple interest amount he could be making, and the rate of investment, Tyrell's additional interest per month is $1,000.

<h3>How much is Tyrell paying in additional interest?</h3>

Assuming the additional interest that Tyrell is paying is x, the following formula can be used:

300 = (x × 2.5%) x 12 months

Solving gives:

300 = 0.025x × 12

0.025x = 300/12

x = 25 / 0.025

x = $1,000

A rectangle has a length of x+7 and a width of 2x-3. If it’s perimeter is 32, what is the value of 3x? A.4/B.12/C.14/D.36/E.42/
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The correct option is C. 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have that the perimeter of a rectangle = (2·length) + (2·width)

⇒perimeter of a rectangle = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)]

⇒ 32 = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)] ⇒ 32 = (2x + 14) + (4x - 6)

⇒ 32 = 6x + 8 ⇒ 32 - 8 = 6x ⇒ 24= 6x ⇒ 24/6 = x ⇒ x = 4. ⇒ 3x= 12.
