Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b: a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1) 0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1: 0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis: 5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides: -0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left: 0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05 b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and: 42-24= 18 13¢ stamps Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.

Monica [59]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

( 50 / 5² )² ÷ 4      (by PEDMAS, do the terms inside the parentheses first)

= [ (5 · 10) / (5 · 5) ]² ÷ 4      (the 5's cancel out in the numerator and denominator)

= [ (10) / (5) ]² ÷ 4

= [ 2 ] ² ÷ 4

= 4 ÷ 4

= 1

Hope this helps

Whats the answer for -3(w+4)=-18 find what W equals
neonofarm [45]
First, distribute to simplify the equation.

-3*w = -3w
-3*4 = -12

-3w + (-12) = -18

Now, isolate the variable.
  
-3w + -12 = -18
          +12     +12

- 18 + 12 --> -6

-3w = -6

-3w/-3 = -6/-3    >>>>>     w = 2

Answer: w = 2
