Answer: N= 375, C= 875

Step-by-step explanation:  Let Canadian stamps=C

Let International stamps=N

C=875     and        N=375

 

C - 500=N,  .70(N + C) =C

Solve the following system:

{C-500 = N |     (equation 1)

0.7 (C+N) = C |     (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{-N+C = 500 |     (equation 1)

0.7 N-0.3 C = 0 |     (equation 2)

Add 0.7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-N+C = 500 |     (equation 1)

0 N+0.4 C = 350 |     (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 0.4:

{-N+C = 500 |     (equation 1)

0. N+C = 875. |     (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-N+0 C = -375. |     (equation 1)

0 N+C = 875. |     (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{N+0 C = 375. |     (equation 1)

0 N+C = 875. |     (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: |  N = 375        and             C=875

Answer:

(-6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

So there actually is really easy way to solve this problem(that many people will never teach you for some weird reason).

Find difference between two points first in x and y direction.

X difference = (-3 - (-8)) = 5

Y difference = (-1 - (-6))  = 5

Multiply 2/5 to each difference

X difference 5 * 2/5 = 2

y difference 5* 2/5 = 2

just add the two number to First point(point A)

-8 + 2 = -6

-6 + 2 = -4

(-6,-4)

For what value does x does 3^2x= g^3x-4<br> A)1<br> B)2<br> C)3<br> D)4
netineya [11]
The question has an error because the letter g does not make sense in the context.

I will assume that the g is really the number 9.

In that case, the equation to solve would be:

3^{2x} =  9^{3x-4}

You can solve for x following these steps:

1) make      9=3^2

=>

3^{2x} = 3^{2(3x-4)}

2) Given that the basis are equal the exponents have to be equal =>

2x = 2(3x - 4)

3) Solve:

2x = 6x - 8

6x - 2x = 8

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2 which is the option B) which leads me to think that a 9 instead of g in the equation should be right.

Under that assumption, the answer is the option B) x = 2.
