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:
16 crates
Step-by-step explanation:
-This is a division problem.
-Let x be the number of crates that will fit in to the box car.
-To solve x, we divide the volume of the boxcar by the volume of one crate:

Hence, 16 crates will fit in the boxcar.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Side z is the adjacent, since it is next to the angle you are solving for.
Side x is the opposite, since it is opposite the angle you are solving for.
The side measuring 14 is the hypotenuse, since it is across from the right angle.
