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.

Which of the following are rational numbers {7,-5,2/3,5.79,,√13,√-4}
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7, -5, 2/3, 5.79

Step-by-step explanation:

rational numbers are numbers you can put in fraction form. \sqrt{13} is not a perfect square, therefore you cannot put it in fraction form. \sqrt{-4} is an imaginary number. Rational numbers are in the Real Numbers category, so it is not a rational number.

The answer is D. It can't be considered a funtion unless each X value only has 1 Y value corresponding to it. In this problem, you see the X value 3 paired with -1 and 1.

Adam has a playhouse in his backyard that is shaped like a square prism with a squarepyramid for the roof. What is the volume of
Ainat [17]

Answer:

51 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically a rectangular prism + pyramid.

Volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height

Volume of square pyramid = 1/3 * area of base * height

The rectangular prism's dimensions are 3 x 3 x 5 ,  so volume = 3*3*5 = 45

The pyramid's base is a square with side 3, so area of base = 3 * 3 = 9

The height is 2, we find the volume using the formula stated above as:

1/3 * 9 * 2 = 6

Volume of Playhouse = volume of rectangular prism + volume of pyramid

Volume of Playhouse = 45 + 6 = 51 cubic feet
