Base on my calculation and the simplification of the form and finding its 4th power of the x+2y, i came up with a solution and finally found an answer of B. 448x^5y^3, I hope i answer your questions directly and please feel free to ask for more and ask for clarifications
Answer:
The answer to this inequality would be x>2
45 pages total
3 on last page
45-3=42
there are 42 on the rest of the pages
on each page, there are 2 more pages in album than then stamps on pages
amount of stamps on pages with equal number of stamps is
A=numberofpgest times number of stamps on pages
number of pages=p
number of stamps per papge=s
a=ps
2 more pages than stamps on pages
p=2+s
total number of stamps per page is s=(45-3)/(p-1)
(what I did is I first got rid of number of stamps on last page, then got rid of the last page)
P=2+s
s=(45-3)/(2+s-1)
s=42/(s+1)
times s+1 both sides
s^2+s=42
minus 42
s^2+s-42=0
factor
(s-6)(s+7)=0
set equal to zero
s-6=0
s=6
s+7=0
s=-7, false, no negative stamps
6 stamps per page
sub
p=2+s
p=2+6
p=8
8 pages
check
last page is 3 so 8-1=7 page left
7*6=42
3+42=45
correct
there are
8 pages in the album
6 stamps per page
So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is.
first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction.
so...
23 1/2 can be 23 4/8
9 5/8 and
6 1/4 can be 6 2/8
let's add the whole numbers.
23 + 9 + 6 = 38
4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8
the answer is 39 3/8 pounds
