I have 31 stamps total. I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps and twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps. If my stamps are worth $1.78 altogether how many one cent stamps do I have?

14 1-cent stamps (in case anyone else still needs)

Step-by-step explanation:

1-cent stamps=x

8-cent stamps=x-4

12-cent stamp=.5x

x+x-4+.5x=31

2.5x-4=31

2.5x=35

x=14

You can use the $1.78 to double check:

(1*14)+(8*10)+(12*7)

14+80+84=178 cents (or $1.78)

answer: 32.68

step-by-step explanation:

x=2

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
