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

If x = 4,

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.

If (-2,3), 3x-2ky+4=0 find the value of k
ipn [44]
Answer: k = -1/3

Step-by-Step Explanation:

=> 3x - 2ky + 4 = 0
Value of ‘x’ = -2
Value of ‘y’ = 3

Substitute values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ :-
=> 3x - 2ky + 4 = 0
= 3(-2) - 2k(3) + 4 = 0
= -6 - 6k + 4 = 0
= -6k = 6 - 4
= -6k = 2
= k = 2/-6
=> k = -2/6 = -1/3

Therefore, k = -1/3

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused
Veronika [31]
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible. 

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
