Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of 40¢ = x

Number of 22¢ = 4x + 3

Total stamp value = $8.34 = (8.34 * 100) = 834¢

40¢x + 22¢(4x + 3) = 834¢

40x + 88x + 66 = 834

128x = 834 - 66

128x = 768

x = 768 / 128

x = 6

Number of 22¢ stamp:

4(6) + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27

Vika [28.1K]
If you're looking for the solution to the system of equations, here's how we solve using substitution
We know that y = x - 1, so we can plug that into the first equation giving
2x - 3(x-1) = -1
Now distribute the 3 giving 2x - 3x + 3 = -1. After combining like terms we get -x + 3 = -1. Now subtract 3 from both sides, -x = -4, and multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive. x = 4
Now we can plug that into the second equation to get y
y = x - 1, and we know that x = 4, so y = 4 - 1, y = 3. The solution is (4, 3)

a triangle pyramid with an equilateral base has a side length of 10 centimeters and a surface area of 214.5 square meters. find
sweet [91]
Area of the base = 1/2 * 10 *  5sqrt3 =  25 sqrt3

Total surface area = 25 sqrt3 + 3 *  1/2 * 10 * slant height = 214.5

25 sqrt3 + 15h = 214.5
15h = 214.5 - 25 sqrt3

h =   (214.5 - 25sqrt3() / 15

=  11.41 cm to nearest hundredth

Which shows the expressions rewritten with the least common denominator?
baherus [9]

Answer:

  D.  (14x-4)/(8x^2) and (x^2-x)/(8x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator will be 8x^2, the product of 2 and x to the highest of their powers in either of the denominators.

  \left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\right\}=\left\{\dfrac{7x-2}{4x^2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2},\ \dfrac{x-1}{8x}\cdot\dfrac{x}{x}\right\}\\\\=\left\{\dfrac{14x-4}{8x^2},\ \dfrac{x^2-x}{8x^2}\right\}

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24. If the length is 5 times the width, what is the area?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Area is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is 24

Let the length be x

Let the breadth be Y

Length is 5times the breadth

I.e

X=5y

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle is

2(length + breadth)

= 2(x+y)

Substitute for x=5y

2(5y+y)=24

2(6y)=24

6y=24/2

6y=12

Y=12/6

Y=2

Breadth = 2

Since length =5y

Length=5(2)

Length = 10

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

Area= 10×2

Area = 20

Area of the rectangle is 20
