Answer:
260 stickers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Gareth's stickers be x.
Hence Cheryl sticker is 160+x;
If Cheryl gave 185 stickers
to Gareth, it means:
Cheryl has at the moment;
160 + x - 185 = x - 25
At this time when Gareth receives 185 he now has:
x+ 185
Also when he receives x +185, he has 3 times Cherry's meaning:
x+185 =3(x-25)
x + 185 = 3x -75
185 + 75 = 3x-2x
260= x
x = 260.
Hence Gareth has 260 stickers
X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)
First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
