Bianca has a stamp collection of 5 cent stamps and 7 cent stamps. she has 3 less 7 cent stamps as 5 cent stamps. if the collection has a face value of 87 cents, how many of each does she have?
she has 5 cent stamps and 7 cent stamps.

She has 9 5 cent stamps and 6 7 cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of five cent stamps be represented by F and the number of seven cent stamps be represented by S.

The difference between the number of five cent and seven cent stamps is 3

F-S=3

The sum of the collection from each type of stamp is 87 cents

5F+7S=87

Let us solve the equations simultaneously.

F-S=3

5F+7S=87

Using substitution method,

F= 3+S

5(3+S)+7S=87

15+5S+7S=87

12S=87-15

12S=72

S=6

F=3+S

=3+6=9

Therefore the number of five cent stamps is 9 and seven cent stamps is 6.

Number of 5 cent stamps = 9

Number of 7 cent stamps = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bianca has a stamp collection of 5 cent stamps and 7 cent stamps in which there are 3 less 7 cent stamps as 5 cent stamps.

If the total face value of stamps is 87 cents, we are to find the number of stamps of each value.

Assuming to be the number of 5 cent stamps and to be the 7 cent stamps so we can write it as:

--- (1)

--- (2)

Substituting this value of from (2) in (1):

Number of 5 cent stamps = 9

Number of 7 cent stamps = 9 - 3 = 6

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.

y + 11 = (1/4)(x + 16)
