x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).

Answer: J = 14.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>K is similar to G</em>
So we can find the scale that FHG was dilated by dividing the side length of G by the side length of K
16.56/9.2 = 1.8
So the sides of the triangle KMJ were multiplied by a factor of 1.8
to find m :
25.92/1.8 = 14.4
J = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:
2)infinetly many solutions
beacuse y=8x-2 and y-8x=-2 are the same thing without any limitation
£7200
In first year depreciates by 20%, that is it is worth 80% of it's original value
80% = 
= 0.8
value after 1 year = 0.8 × £10000 = £8000
In the second year it depreciates by 10% of it's value, that is it is worth 90% of it's value at the end of the first year.
90% = 
= 0.9
value after 2 years = 0.9 × £8000 = £7200
