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.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The following statements are true about exponential functions:

-The domain is all real numbers.

- The input to an exponential function is the exponent.

- The base represents the multiplicative rate of change.

The reason why the other two options are wrong are explained below:

The range of exponential functions is not always includes negative numbers; on the contrary, the range is the set of all positive real numbers.

The graph of an exponential function does not have a horizontal asymptote at x = 0; contrarily, the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the graph of is y = 0, which is the x-axis.
