The number of postage stamps in John’s collection is 27.

We have given that,

John, Johan, and Jonathan collect postage stamps. Johan and Jonathan have the same number of stamps.

<h3>What is an elimination method?</h3>

The elimination method is the process of eliminating one of the variables in the system of linear equations using the addition or subtraction methods in conjunction with the multiplication or division of coefficients of the variables.

Johan and Jonathan have the same number of stamps.

Let x be the Johan and Jonathan postal stamps.

Let y be the John postal stamps.

Two times Johan’s collection is eleven less than five times John’s collection.

2x = 5y - 11............(1)

Three times Jonathan’s collection is three less than seven times John’s collection.

3x = 7y - 3............(2)

Multiply equation 1 with 3

3(2x = 5y - 11)

⇒ 6x = 15y - 33.........(3)

Multiply equation 2 with 2

2(3x = 7y - 3)

⇒ 6x = 14y - 6.............(4)

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

⇒ 6x - 6x = 15y - 33 - (14y - 6)

⇒ 0 = y - 27

⇒ y = 27

Hence, the number of postage stamps in John’s collection is 27.

The perimeter of a television screen is 94 inches it is 17 inches tall how wide is it
Nadya [2.5K]
<h3>Answer:  30 inches</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = unknown width

For this rectangle, there are 2 sides of length x, and 2 sides of length 17.

The perimeter is P = 2x+2*17 = 2x+34

Set this equal to the given perimeter (94) and solve for x.

2x+34 = 94

2x = 94-34

2x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30

The TV is 30 inches wide

There is a group of 10 people ordering pizza. If each person
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If ten people each get three slices, they will need 30 pieces.

10 x 3 = 30

Each pizza has 8 slices, so we divide 30 by 8 to get the number of pizzas needed.

30 / 8 = 3.75

You can't buy 3.75 pizzas, so you must get 4 to ensure everyone gets enough.

In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age. Find the child’s current age.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Her current age is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age: x

"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."

In 10 years: <u>x + 10</u>

6 years less than triple: <em>3x - 6</em>

<u>x + 10</u> = <em>3x - 6</em>

<em>solve.</em>

<em>16 = 2x</em>

<em>x = 8</em>
