Answer:

Mason has

  • 16 20¢ stamps;
  • 25 3¢ stamps;
  • 40 49¢ stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 20¢ stamps, then the number of 3¢ stamps is  x + 9.

Mason has 56 total 49¢ and 20¢ stamps, then the number of 49¢ stamps is 56 - x.

Amounts:

  • in 49¢: 49(56-x) cents;
  • in 20¢: 20x cents;
  • in 3¢: 3(x+9) cents.

Total amount:

  • 49(56-x)+20x+3(x+9);
  • $23.55.

Hence,

49(56-x)+20x+3(x+9)=2,355\\ \\2,744-49x+20x+3x+27=2,355\\ \\-49x+3x+20x=2,355-2,744-27\\ \\-26x=-416\\ \\26x=416\\ \\x=16

Mason has

  • 16 20¢ stamps;
  • 25 3¢ stamps;
  • 40 49¢ stamps.

Help please I don’t understand this at all & been stuck here for a hour
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4b + 8 = 20

Subtract 8 from both sides

4b + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8

4b = 12

Now divide both sides by 4

4b/4 = 12/4

b = 3

Check:

LHS = 4b + 8

       = 4*3 + 8

        = 12 + 8

        = 20 = RHS

Descompuneti in factori. x^2+4x-5=?
Lapatulllka [165]
<span>Assume that,
   x^2+4x-5 = 0 .......(1)
       Then, x^2+4x-5 = 0 x^2+5x-1x-5 =0
   x(x+5)-1(x+5) = 0
    (x+5) (x-1) = 0
       We get x=-5 and x=1
       Sub x=-5 in equ (1)
   (-5)^2+4(5)-5 = 0
     -25+20-5 = 0
    -25+25= 0
    0 = 0
       Sub x=1 in equ (1) (1)^2+4(1)-5 = 0
    1+4-5 = 0 5-5 = 0
     0 = 0
       Therefore x value is -5 and 1</span>

When simplified and written in standard form, which quadratic function is equivalent to the polynomial shown?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2c^2 - 2c - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the answer choices.  Thank you.

Group together the 'c' terms in 2 + 7c – 4c2 – 3c + 4:

                                                     2  + 4c and -4c^2 + 4  Then we have:

-4c^2 + 4c + 6

We should reduce this by factoring -2 out of all three terms:

2c^2 - 2c - 3  This is the desired quadratic in standard form.

1-sin^2x/sinx-cscx <br><br>How do I solve this problem? I keep getting the wrong answer.
Annette [7]

Answer:

-sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x

so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx

it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx

knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx

(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)

now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....

cos^2x

---------------------

(sin^2x - 1)/sinx

notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x

so now it becomes:

cos^2x

--------------

-cos^2x/sinx

because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it

cos^2x          sinx

---------- * ----------------

1                  -  cos^2x

because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1

now the answer is -sinx
