John, johan, and jonathan collect postage stamps. johan and jonathan have the same number of stamps. two times johan’s collection is eleven less than five times john’s collection, and three times jonathan’s collection is three less than seven times john’s collection. the number of postage stamps in john’s collection is .

The number of stamps in John’s collection is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

John, Johan, and Jonathan collect postage stamps.

Let x represents the number of stamps in John’s collection.

Johan and Jonathan have the same number of stamps.

Let y represents the number of stamps in Johan or Jonathan's collection.

Two times Johan’s collection is eleven less than five times John’s collection,

This can be written as:

......(1)

Three times Jonathan’s collection is three less than seven times John’s collection.

This can be written as:

Now solve the equations by substituting the value of y from equation 1.

Hence, the number of stamps in John’s collection is 27.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

24
