Jennifer went to the post office for stamps. She bought the same number of 8-cent stamps and 10-cent stamps. She also bought as many 2-cent stamps as both of the other two kinds combined. How many of each kind did she get if she paid a total of $4.40 for them all? Due today! IM SO CONFUSED

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.

Answer 2

Answer: x=number of 8-cent stamp=number of 10-cent stamp
y=number of 2-cent stamp.
$4.40=400 cents

She bought the same number of 8.cent stamp and 10 -cent stamps, she also bought as many 2-cent stamps as both, therefore:
x+x=y ⇒2x=y
We can suggest this system of equations:

2x=y
8x+10x+2y=440

We can solve this system of equation by substitution method.

8x+10x+2(2x)=440
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=440/22
x=20

y=2x
y=2(20)=40

Answer: She bought 20 stamps of 8 cents, 20 stamps of 10 cents, and 40 stamps of 2 cents

The weights of 1,000 men in a certain town follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. From the data, we can conclude that the number of men weighing more than 165 pounds is beyond the mean weight of 1000 men and the number of men weighing less than 135 pounds is less than the mean weight of 1000 men.

What is 2x=4????????????

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2× = 4

x = 2

2x = 4

4/2 = 2

so...

2(2) = 4

x = 2

That’s easy, divide the 4 by two and divide the two x by two, canceling it out and you have x=2

in a standard deck of t2 playing cards, there are 4 aces, 4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 Jacks. All other cards have number values. the kings, queens, and Jack's are called face cards. You are dealt 2 cards in a sequence. calculate the probability of being dealt a 3 and then a 10. write your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the deck is the national playing deck with 52 cards.

Your probability of getting a 3 from the entire deck is 4/52. This number is the same for 10.

To get the probability of pulling a 3 and a 10 afterwards, you must multiply these two fractions (you're expecting a lower percentage).

$4/52 * 4/52 = 0.0059$
