Answer:
The solution is (0, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please copy and share the instructions. Here they are: Solve the following system of linear equations.
Both of the equations can be reduced (simplified):
2x+8y = 6 => x + 4y = 3
15x + 20y = 15 => 3x + 4y = 3
Let's use the elimination by addition and subtraction method. Multiply the first equation by -1, obtaining
-x - 4y = -3
Add the second 3x + 4y = 3
equation to the
first.
We get: 2x = 0.
Thus, x = 0. Substituting 0 for x in the 1st original equation yields:
2(0) + 8y = 6. Then y = 6/8, or y = 3/4.
The solution is (0, 3/4).

Answer:
She started with 50 stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! For these types of problems we always result to going backwards. So, she now has 30 right? So, to reverse into the problem, we do the opposite of what it says. "She then bought five more" 30 - 5 = 25. Then it says she sold half of them. 25 x 2 = 50. If we recheck by going back, she sold half of them (50 / 2 = 25) and she bought five more (25 + 5 = 30).
Hope this helps!
