Jason has a total of 43 stamps, and we have two different stamps involved.

x = 15 cents

y = 20 cents

We will need to set up two equations and then use substitution:

43 = x + y (represents total stamps)

7.50 = 0.15x + 0.20y (represents total value)

To use substitution, we'll use the first equation and get either x or y on its own. In this case I will choose to get y on its own:

43 - x = x - x + y (subtract x to get y alone)

43 - x = y

Now we will use this in the second equation and simplify:

7.50 = 0.15x + 0.20(43 - x)

7.50 = 0.15x + 8.6 - 0.20x

7.50 = 8.6 - 0.05x

-1.1 = -0.05x (divide by -1.1 to get x alone)

22 = x

Now that we know Jason has 22 of the stamps that are worth 15 cents, we need to find y by plugging x, 22, into the first equation:

43 = 22 + y

21 = y

Jason has 22 stamps that are worth 15 cents and 21 stamps that are worth 20 cents.

U plug in the y
2 (3x) -5x=4
simplify
6x -5x =4
solve
x=4
so now you know x=4 so plug that in for x
y= 3(4)
y=12
check your answer
2(12)-5(4)=4
solve
24-20=4
4=4
