\n" ); document.write( "Hi
\n" ); document.write( "1/4 of kens stampss is equal to 2/9 leroys stamps. Leroy has 3 more stamps than ken. How many stamps does leroy have.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thanks
\n" ); document.write( "
Let number of stamps Ken and Leroy have, be K and L, respectively
\n" ); document.write( "Then we get: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%281%2F4%29+%2A+K%2C+%22=%22%2C+%282%2F9%29+%2A+L%29\" ====> \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+K%2F4%2C+%22=%22%2C+2L%2F9%29\" =======> \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+9K%2C+%22=%22%2C+8L%29\" =======> \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+K%2C+%22=%22%2C+8L%2F9%29\" ----- eq (i)
\n" ); document.write( "Also, L = K + 3 ------- eq (ii)'
\n" ); document.write( " \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+L%2C+%22=%22%2C+8L%2F9+%2B+3%29\" ----- Substituting \"8L%2F9\" for K in eq (ii)
\n" ); document.write( " 9L = 8L + 27 ------ Multiplying by LCD, 9
\n" ); document.write( " 9L - 8L = 27
\n" ); document.write( " L, or number Leroy has = \"highlight_green%2827%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
