7 0

Answer:

  • not possible:  1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
  • possible: all others

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.

1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.

Amounts that are impossible:

  1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents

All other positive integer amounts are possible.

Answer:

D) 2x² + 4x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the FOIL method:

FOIL =

First

Outside

Inside

Last

...and is the order you multiply to solve:

(x + 5)(2x - 6) =

(x)(2x) = 2x²

(x)(-6) = -6x

(5)(2x) = 10x

(5)(-6) = -30

Combine like terms. Simplify:

2x² -6x + 10x - 30 = 2x² (-6x + 10x) - 30 = 2x² + 4x - 30

2x² + 4x - 30 is your answer.
