S=number of 6 cent stamps
t=number of ten cen stamps
e=number of 8 cent stamps
w=number of 20 cents stamps=2
cost=500 cents
6s+10t+8e+20w=500
w=2 since two 20 cent stamps wer bought
6s+10t+8e+40=500
minsu 40 both sides
6s+10t+8e=460
divide both sides by 2 to simplify
3s+5t+4e+230
also
10 more 6 cent than 10 cent
s=10+t
8 cent stamps is 3 times 10 cent stamps
e=3t
sub
s=10+t
e=3t
3(10+t)+5t+4(3t)+230
30+3t+5t+12t=230
30+20t=230
minus 30
20t=200
divid 20
t=10
sub back
s=10+t
s=10+10
s=20
e=3t
e=3(10)
e=30
20 six cent
30 eight stamp
10 ten cent
2 twenty cent

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to know the actual number of feet, we can write the proportion with that in the numerator.
The real caboose is 42 1/4 feet long.
Using the distributive property in this case simple means performing the indicated multiplication...
-3n/4+3/8
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Both equations are equal to y, so they're also equal to each other. We then set them equal to each other:
x^2 - 2x + 1 = x^2 + 2x - 7
We now do algebra to isolate x. Subtract 1 from both sides.
x^2 - 2x = x^2 + 2x - 8
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x^2 - 4x = x^2 - 8
Subtract x^2 from both sides.
-4x = -8
Divide both sides by -4.
x = 2
