Answer: 40 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maddy = M and Simon = S

Given that maddy had twice as many stamps as simon. That is,

M = 2S ....(1)

After maddy sold 60 stamps, simon had twice as many stamps as maddy. That is,

S = 2( M - 60) .... (2)

Substitutes M for 2S from equation (1) into equation (2)

S = 2( 2S - 60 )

Open the bracket

S = 4S - 120

Collect the like terms

S - 4S = -120

- 3S = - 120

S = 120/3

S = 40

Substitute S into the equation (1)

M = 2 × 40 = 80

Maddy has 80 - 40 = 40 stamp

Therefore, Maddy has 40 more stamps than simon in the beginning.

Please walk me through this​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

X is 160. because you can add all the value of x. But first substrate 540 with 100 which is 440. then 1/2x + 1/2x+ (x-15) + (x-25) which is further simplified as x + 2x - 40. then it's further simplified as 3x - 40 = 440. then add 40 with 440 which is 480 then divide it by 3 which is 160. therefore X= 160.

Suppose a white dwarf star has a diameter of approximately 1.8083 to the power of 4 km. Use the formula 4n to the power of 2 to
aivan3 [116]

ANSWER:

The surface area of the star is 3.2700 x 10^{8} square kilometres.

EXPLANATIONS:

Diameter of the star = 1.8083 x 10^{4} Km.

Surface area of the star = 4n^{2}

Where n is the radius of the star.

So that;

n = \frac{ 1.8083 * 10^{4} }{2}

   = 0.90415 x 10^{4}

n =  0.90415 x 10^{4} Km

Thus,

Surface area = 4 x (0.90415*10^{4} )^{2}

                     = 326994889

Surface area = 3.2700 x 10^{8} km^{2}

Therefore, the surface area of the star is 3.2700 x 10^{8} square kilometres.

Sasha packed unit cubes into a prism, as shown. Which statement about the volume of the box is true.
Zina [86]

Answer:

The answer is " The volume is greater than 50 cubic units "

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the value of the units and figure is missing that's why its solution can be defined as follows:

Let's the unit value =50 and please find the figure in the attachment file.

The given figure shows its box is not filled with 50 cubes. These were ten empty places where cubes could be placed.

This figure indicates that only the box size will be four units per five units per three units, so they realize it will be in...

\to (4 \times 5 \times  3) \ units^3 = 60 \ units^3

That's why the volume value exceeds 50 cubic units.
