Answer:
The number of 57-cent stamps that Julie bought is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation
0.57 s + 0.3 ( s − 6 ) = 8.64
Open bracket
0.57s + 0.3s - 1.8 = 8.64
Collect like terms
0.87s = 8.64 + 1.8
0.87s = 10.44
Divide both sides by 0.87
s = 12
The number of 57-cent stamps that Julie bought is 12
3x - 18 = 42
3x = 42 + 18
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount invested at 14%. Then 5000-x is the amount invested at 9%. The interest earned is ...
(14%)x +(9%)(5000 -x) = 460
0.05x +450 = 460 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.05x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 450
x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.05
5000-x = 5000-200 = 4800
$200 was invested at 14%; $4800 was invested at 9%.
