-5, -4, 0, 2, 3. From smallest to largest
x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
Answer:
m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope of the line connecting (-2,-3) and (-4,-9). (Note: you must use those parentheses.)
As we go from x= -4 to x = -2, an increase of 2, y increases by 6 from -9 to -3. The slope of this line is m = rise / run = 6/2 = 3.
If one angle is d° then it's supplement is
(180-d)°
Answer: -2x+14
Step-by-step explanation: use the distributive property. -2 times x and -2 times -7. -2x+14
