Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 15 cent stamps

y = 20 cent stamps

I will be using these equations

x + y = 16

0.15x + 0.20y = 3

x = 16 - y

0.15(16 - y) + 0.20y = 3

2.40 - 0.15y + 0.20y = 3

-0.15y + 0.20y = 3 - 2.40

0.05y = 0.60

y = 0.60/0.05

y = 12.......there were 12 twenty cent stamps

x + y = 16

x + 12 = 16

x = 16 - 12

x = 4.....there were 4 fifteen cent stamps

no change is received

Which is the correct answer​
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the order of operations, you will find out that 7 x 10^3 = 7,000, and 3 x 10^2 = 300. Dividing 7,000 by 300 will get you 23.333~, so 300 does go into 7,000 a little more than 20 times.

A certain type of bacteria reproduces so that after x hours there are 15x cells. What single power represents he size relationsh
algol [13]

Answer:

let's say cells is c and hours are x that means there are 15 cells each hour. the equation for that is c=15x

after 08 hours the cells have multiplied 8 times their original size. meaning that the equation changes to this: c=15x          x=8    c= 15(8)

x equals 8 at that time.. literally

ok the cells have multiplied and now there are 120 cells in total

then after one day the cells have multiplied over 12 times afterwards. now x equals 24. the equation would look a little like this:

c=15x      x=24    c= 15(24)

there are 360 cells now.

Explain in your own words the relationship between x=8 with x=24 in the equation.
