Answer:Steven used 9 $0.02 stamps and 6 $0.10 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of $0.02 stamp  be =x

let number of $0.10 stamp  be =y

so that the number of stamps used can be expressed as

x+y=15

and the total price of stamps used equaling  $0.78 be expressed as

0.02x + 0.10y =0.78

Solving

x+y=15----1

0.02x + 0.10y =0.78---2

from equation 1 ,  x =15-y, putting the value of x into equation 2

0.02(15-y) + 0.10y =0.78

0.3 -0.02y + 0.10y  = 0.78

0.3 + 0.08y=0.78

0.08y=0.78-0.3

y=0.48/0.08 =6

y =6 stamps

 Putting bthe value of  y =6 into equation 1

x+6=15

x=15-6 =9

Steven used 9 $0.02 stamps and 6 $0.10 stamps

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)?
Pepsi [2]
X=4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)
(1.5)(x)+(1.5)(4)+ -3 =(4.5)(x)+(4.5)(-2)
(1.5x) + ( 6+-3) =4.5x - 9
(Combine like terms)
1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Step 2: Subtract 4.5x from both sides.
1.5x +3 -4.5x =4.5x=-9-4.5x-3x+3=-9

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3x+3-3=-9-3
-3x=12

Step 4: Divide both by -3
-3x/-3=-12/-3
X=4

Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences (Context)
V125BC [204]

The formula for compound interest

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^ (nt)

A is the amount in the account at the end

P is the principal balance or the amount initially invested

r is the annual interest rate in decimal form

n is the number of times it is coupounded per year

t is the number of years

A = 1800 ( 1+ .0375/1) ^ (1*6)

A = 1800 ( 1.0375)^6

A = 2244.92138

Rounding to the nearest cent

A = 2244.92
