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

In 2013 nyc had 66.37 inches of precipitation what is that amount of precipitation to the nearest inch
V125BC [204]
Since we are rounding to the nearest inch, we want to look at the tenths place. The rule for rounding is 5 and up, we round up, 4 and below, stay. Since 3 is below 5, we stay. Therefore your answer should be 66 inches of precipitation. Hope this helps!

Fred decides to think about retirement and invests at the age of 26. He invests $15,000 and hopes the investment will be
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Future value with continuous compounding ; FV =Pe^{rt\\ } \\ 900,000 = 15,000e^{38r} \\ \\ \frac{900,000}{15,000}  =e^{38r\\ }\\ \\ \\ 60 =e^{38r}

Introduce <em>ln </em>on both sides of the equation

ln 60 = lne^{38r}

note:  lne^{x} = x

Next, solve the equation;

4.09 = 38r

Divide both sides by 38 to solve for r;

4.09/38 = r

r= 0.107746 or 10.7746%

Therefore the rate would be 10.775% to the nearest a tenth of a percent.
