96÷2=48
63-48=15

So Sam should give Peter 15 of his stamps so that Peter will have twice as many stamps as him.

Answer:

  • Sam must give Peter <u>10 stamps</u> so that Peter has twice as much as him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the exercise could be done using equations, I will teach you a much simpler method to find the answer to this type of exercise: add the stamps of Sam and Peter:

  • 96 + 63 = 159

Since one must have twice the other, you will have to divide the total value into 3 (then two parts will correspond to Peter and 1 one to Sam)

  •  159/3 = 53

With this value, <u>Sam must have only 53 stamps and give the rest to Peter, and since Sam has 63 stamps, he will have to give Peter 10, with which Peter will have 106 stamps, which is double 53</u>.

The solution to the given system of linear equations lies in which quadrant?
Rina8888 [55]
X-3y=6
x+y=2
this is an substitution problem
so first you can do is rewrite the problem by subjection one variable
x=3y+6
then substitute this in the other proble
x+y=2
(3y+6)+y=2
4y+6=2
4y=2-6
4y=-4
y=-1
then substitute the no. in the original equation. 
x=3y+6
x=3(-1)+6
x=-3+6
x=3
now you got the intercepts and you draw the line and check.
it's in the IV quadrant

Robert has $50 to spend on his utility bills each month. The basic monthly charge is 23.77 electricity costs 0.1117 for each kil
Lilit [14]

Answer:

<em>The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

Robert's monthly utility budget is represented by the inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Where x is the number of kilowatts of electricity used.

We are required to find the maximum number of kilowatts-hours used without going over the monthly budget. Solve the above inequality:

0.1116x + 23.77 < 50

Subtracting 23.77:

0.1116x < 50 - 23.77

0.1116x < 26.23

Dividing by 0.1116:

x < 26.23/0.1116

x < 235

The maximum number of kilowatt-hours is 235
