Answer: It costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.

Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28

Then the cost of 1 stamp= $\frac{8.28}{18}$

Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46

With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps= $0.46\times12$

Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52

hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.

The quadratic formula is above.

You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3

Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
