Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of stamps from Europe.

Let y represent the number of stamps from Africa.

Let z represent the number of stamps from Asia.

She has 47 stamps in all. This means that

x + y + z = 47 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The number of African stamps is 2 times the number of Asian stamps. This means that

y = 2z

She has 20 stamps from Europe. Therefore, substituting x = 20 and y = 2z into equation 1, it becomes

20 + 2z + z = 47

3z = 47 - 20 = 27

z = 27/3 = 9

y = 2z = 2 × 9

y = 18

She has 20 stamps from Europe, 18 stamps from Africa and 9 stamps Asia.
