5 cent = 0.05x

<span><span>2 cent  </span>= 0.02(x+50)</span>

4 cent = 0.04(2x-10)

 

0.05x + 0.02(x+50) + 0.04(2x-10)

0.05x + 0.02x +1 + 0.08x -0.4 = 4.35

0.15x +0.6 = 4.35

0.15x = 3.75

X = 3.75 / 0.15 = 25

<span> 25 5 cent stamps ( 25*0.05 = 1.25)</span>

25+50 = 75 2 cent stamps ( 75*0.02 = 1.50)

2*25 =50-10 = 40 4 cent stamps ( 40*0.04 =1.60)

 

1.25 + 1.50 +1.60 = 4.35

5 cent = 25

2 cent = 75

4 cent = 40

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation is:</u>

x^2+1=2x-3

Setting it up as a quadratic equation.

x^2+1-2x+3=0\\\\x^2-2x+4=0

Comparing it with quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0, we get:

a = 1 , b = -2 , c = 4

<u>Putting the values in quadratic equation:</u>

\displaystyle x = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x = \frac{-(-2)+-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(4)}  }{2(1)}

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
