Answer:

Answer:Amy used 4 41-cent stamps and 8 6-cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 41-cent stamps that Amy used. Let y represent the number of 6-cent stamps that Amy used.

41 cents = 41/100 = $0.41

6 cents = 6/100 = $0.06

She uses 41-cent stamps and 6-cent stamps to pay $2.12 in postage. It means that

0.41x + 0.06y = 2.12

Multiplying through by 100, it becomes

41x + 6y = 212

6y = 212 -41x

We would test for corresponding values of x and y that satisfies the equation and they must be whole numbers.

If x = 3,

6y = 212 - 41 × 3 = 89

y = 89/6 = 14.8333

If x = 4,

6y = 212 - 41 × 4 = 48

y = 48/6 = 8

Answer:Amy used 4 41-cent stamps and 8 6-cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 41-cent stamps that Amy used. Let y represent the number of 6-cent stamps that Amy used.

41 cents = 41/100 = $0.41

6 cents = 6/100 = $0.06

She uses 41-cent stamps and 6-cent stamps to pay $2.12 in postage. It means that

0.41x + 0.06y = 2.12

Multiplying through by 100, it becomes

41x + 6y = 212

6y = 212 -41x

We would test for corresponding values of x and y that satisfies the equation and they must be whole numbers.

If x = 3,

6y = 212 - 41 × 3 = 89

y = 89/6 = 14.8333

6y = 212 - 41 × 4 = 48

y = 48/6 = 8

We need to find how many 47c stamps (let’s call the number of these stamps x) and how many 6c stamps (let’s call the number of these stamps y)
Together, the cost of 47x + 6y = 242 (242cents)
As x is more expensive, let’s look at that first.
If we bought 5 of the x stamps, that would cost 5x47=249. That is too much, so the most we can buy is 4 x stamps
4 of the x stamps cost 188.
We need to get to 242, so let’s look at the y stamps.
242 - 188 is 54. Each y stamp costs 6 cents, so how many can we buy?
54 / 6 = 9. And there we have our answer.
4 x stamps and 9 y stamps.
Four 47cent stamps and nine 6cent stamps.

The formula to determine energy is uppercase E = one-half m v squared. What is the formula solved for v?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2.  Let's get rid of the 2 first.  The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get

2E=mv^2

Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division.  So we divide both sides by m to get

\frac{2E}{m}=v^2

The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally

\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }=v

a test has 20 multiple-choice questions with 5 choices each, followed by 35 true/false questions. if a student guesses on each q
Nuetrik [128]

Answer

There are 170 ways the student can answer the test.

Explanation

If there are 20 multiple-choice questions with 5 choices each, the student has 100 choices. The first question has 5 choices to pick from. The second has 5 as well. So does the third. Hopefully now you realize that you have to multiply the number of choices by the number of questions.

The same thing goes with the true/false questions. There are 2 choices for each true/false question, and there are 35 of those. 35×2 is 70. There are 70 ways to answer on the true/false questions.

Now combine the number of choices on the first part and the second part; 100+70 is 170.
