Answer:
8.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 1.78 - 1 pound
$ 15.21 - 15.21/1.78
= 8.5
Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
They are on the same y-point and so you just have to count the spaces between them on the x-axis.
If it bisect, then using the Line Bisector Theorem, it must be equal.
So x+6=4x-21
get like terms on 1 side
x+6=4x-21
-x. +21
27= 3x
x=9
plug the x in
CD= 9+6
CD=15
Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b:
a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1)
0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1:
0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis:
5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides:
-0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left:
0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05
b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and:
42-24= 18 13¢ stamps
Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.
