NEED HELP NOW I have 31 stamps total. I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps and twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cen
krek1111 [17]

x = number of 1-cent stamps

y = number of 8-cent stamps

z = number of 12-cent stamps

We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.

"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.

You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x

-------------

x+y+z = 31

x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8

x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x

2.5x-8 = 31

2.5x = 31+8

2.5x = 39

x = 39/2.5

x = 15.6

Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
