Answer:
The least number of stamps required is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of
cent stamps be
and
cent stamps be 
We have

The minimum number is obtained when more
cent stamps are used
Here
cannot be greater than
since 
Substitute 

Not possible since
is not a fraction
Substitute 

Not possible since
is not a fraction
Substitute 

Possible
Hence minimum number of stamps is

Answer:
1. x=y−2
2. -1/2y + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 6 = 48 (alternate angles are equal)
- 6
3x. = 42
÷3
x = 14 degrees
180-48 - 2y + 5y-9 =180
123 + 3y = 180
-123
3y = 57
÷3
y = 19 degrees
Explanation:
To find the last angle on the top straight line, do:
180 - (the 2 given angles).
So, 180 - (3x + 16, which is 48 due to alternate angles being equal). Then, minus the 2y.
(180 - 48 - 2y) & simplify => 132 - 2y
This gives you the equation for the missing angle on our top straight line.
Thus, co-interior angles add to 180. So, we add the new equation (132 - 2y) to 5y - 9.
Simplify
=> 123 + 3y (because - 2+5 =3)
and put it equal to 180. Solve for y
Hope this helps!
x = 3 - (3×6) + 2. We perform the operation in the bracket first.
x = 3 - 18 + 2
x = -15 + 2 = 2 -15 = -13
x = -13
