Question

Jason went to the post office and bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards and spent $10.28. The number of stamps was 4 more than twice the number of postcards. How many of each did he buy?
If there were x postcards, then there were 2x+4 stamps.
Now add up the costs -- it totals 10.28
26x + 41(2x+4) = 1026.
Correction: change 1026 to 1028.
