Answer 1

HELP ME GET AN EQUATION

Answer 2

thanks ashe

Answer 3

and mert

Answer 4

x = Number of 33 cent stamps
x+50 = Number of 1 cent stamps
2x-10 = number of 32 cent stamps
33x = value of 33 cent stamps
1(x+50) = value of 1 cent stamps
32(2x-10) = value of 32 cent stamps
33x+(x+50) + 32(2x-10) = 2180 All values in CENTS

Answer 5

ok
let no. of 1 cent stamps be x, no. of 32 cent stamps be y and z be the 33 cent stamps
1st eq. x*1+y*32+z*33=2180;
2nd eq. x-z=50;
and third is
2z-y=10;
u can solve these 3 equations to get x , y and z

Answer 6

33x + x +50 + 64x -320 = 2180
98x - 270 = 2180
98x = 2450
x = 25= number of 33 cent stamps
x+50 = 75 = number of 1 cent stamps
2x-10 = 40 = number of 32 cent stamps
