Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.

X=number of 8-cent stamp=number of 10-cent stamp
y=number of 2-cent stamp.
$4.40=400 cents

She bought the same number of 8.cent stamp and 10 -cent stamps, she also bought as many 2-cent stamps as both, therefore:
x+x=y  ⇒2x=y
We can suggest this system of equations:

2x=y
8x+10x+2y=440

We can solve this system of equation by substitution method.

8x+10x+2(2x)=440
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=440/22
x=20

y=2x
y=2(20)=40

Answer: She bought 20 stamps of 8 cents, 20 stamps of 10 cents, and 40 stamps of 2 cents

What is the chance of rolling a 4 with a single die four times in a row?
Anni [7]
This is the concept of probability, we are required to calculate for the probability of rolling a 4 with a single die four times in a row;
To solve this we proceed as follows;
The probability space of a die is  x={1,2,3,4,5,6}
The probability of a die falling on any of this number is:
P(x)=1/6
Thus the probability of rolling a 4 with a single die four times which makes up mutually exclusive events will be:
1/6*1/6*1/6*1/6
=(1/6)^4
=1/1296
The answer is B] 1/1296

Not easy to graph but

multily first equaiton by -2 remember to flip sign
-2x+4y>-6
add to other equaiton

2x-2x+y+4y>-6+8
5y>2
divide by 5
y>2/5

subtitute
2x+2/5>8
subtract 2/5 from both sdies
2x>7 3/5
divid eby 2
x>38/10=19/5=3 4/5

x>3 4/5
y>2/5
