Answer:
25 cent stamps = 13 and 29 cent stamps = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 25 cent stamps and y = 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28......x = 28 - y
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(28 - y) + 0.29y = 7.60
7 - 0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60
-0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60 - 7
0.04y = 0.60
y = 0.60 / 0.04
y = 15 <===== 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28
x + 15 = 28
x = 28 - 15
x = 13 <===== 25 cent stamps
lets check it...
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(13) + 0.29(15) = 7.60
3.25 + 4.35 = 7.60
7.60 = 7.60 (correct..it checks out)

The measure of XYZ is:
C. 120
Answer:
m<PTR = 140°
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the value of x. To find the value of x, derive an equation which you'd use in solving for x.
m<PTQ = (x + 28)°
m<RTS = (2x + 16)°
m<PTQ = m<RTS (vertical opposite angles are congruent)
Therefore:
x + 28 = 2x + 16
Solve for x. Combine like terms
28 - 16 = 2x - x
12 = x
x = 12
Find m<PTQ
m<PTQ = (x + 28)
plug in the value of x
m<PTQ = 12 + 28 = 40°
m<PTR + m<PTQ = 180° (supplementary angles)
m<PTR + 40° = 180° (substitution)
m<PTR = 180 - 40 (subtracting 40 from each side)
m<PTR = 140°
