Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations derived from given info.

  • P=2J
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Use some substitution now.

  • P=2(E+40)
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Substitute first and second equation into third.

  • 2(E+40)+E+40+E=300
  • 2E+80+E+40+E=300
  • 4E+120=300
  • 4E=180
  • E=45

Emily has 45 stickers. But we want to know what Peter has.

Use P=2(E+40)

  • P=2(45+40)
  • P=90+80
  • P=170

Peter has 170 stickers.

Furkat [3]
(x+5)(x-5) , You use difference of two squares to do this. Remember that if the sign in the equation was (+) then you wouldn’t be able to continue factoring. You can only factor equations like these if there is a subtraction sign.
