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

Alexandra [31]
145-10x=10x-35

Add 35 to both sides.

175-10x=10x

Add 10x to both sides.

175=20x

Divide both sides by 20

8.75=x

Lois and Clark each ordered 3 posters that each cost x dollers. The postage for 3 posters is $5. Lois wrote an expression for th
konstantin123 [22]
The two equations are equivalent.

The postage for 3 posters is $5.
Lois$ wrote an expression for the total they both spent as 6x + 10 6(25) +10
150 +10 = 160

Clark wrote another expression for the total, saying that it represented the same cost: 2(3x + 5). = 2(3x) + 2(5) 6x + 10 = 6(25) + 10 = 150+10 160

If each poster costs $25, do the two expressions give the same amount?
