Answer: Mason has 40 forty-nine cent stamps, 16 twenty cent stamps and 25 three cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 49 cent stamps that Mason has.

Let y represent the number of 20 cent stamps that Mason has.

Let z represent the number of 3 cent stamps that Mason has.

Mason has a collection of 49 cent stamps, 20 cent stamps, and 3 cent stamps worth $23.55. This means that

0.49x + 0.2y + 0.03z = 23.55 - - - - -1

He had 56 total 49 cent and 20 cent stamps. This means that

x + y = 56

x = 56 - y

The number of 3 cent stamps is nine more than the number of 20 cent stamps. This means that

z = y + 9

Substituting x = 56 - y and z = y + 9 into equation 1, it becomes

0.49(56 - y) + 0.2y + 0.03(y + 9) = 23.55

27.44 - 0.49y + 0.2y + 0.03y + 0.27 = 23.55

27.44 + 0.27 - 0.49y + 0.2y + 0.03y = 23.44

27.71 - 0.26y = 23.55

- 0.26y = 23.55 - 27.71

- 0.26y = - 4.16

y = - 4.16/ - 0.26y

y = 16

x = 56 - y = 56 - 16

x = 40

z = y + 9 = 16 + 9

z = 25

In parallelogram DEFG, DH = x + 3, HF = 3y, GH = 4x – 5, and HE = 2y + 3. Find the values of x and y.
marissa [1.9K]

Here, DH = HF 

x+3 = 3y

x = 3y-3   ----(I)

GH = HE

4x-5 = 2y+3

4x = 2y+8

Substitute value of x,

4(3y-3) = 2y+8

12y-12 = 2y+8

12y-2y = 12+8

10y = 20

y = 2

Now, substitute it in equation 1,

x = 3(2)-3

x = 6-3 = 3

So, your final answer is      x=3  & y=2

after 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. what is the sloths speed in feet per minute
grigory [225]
 I think this is how you do it: You would multiply 3/8 to 3/4 min...then convert into decimal..and get 0.5 min.
