An office manager is reconciling a postage receipt for a total of $8.36. The purchase consisted of x stamps worth $0.02 each and a second type of stamp (represented by the expression 2x + 4) worth $0.41 each. Which equation correctly models this total-value scenario?

Match each business scenario or rule component with its correct mathematical result or description based on the same-sign addition rule.

An office administrator is reconciling a postage receipt for a bulk mailing that cost a total of $8.36. The purchase consisted of 2-cent stamps and 41-cent stamps, where the number of 41-cent stamps was four more than twice the number of 2-cent stamps. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to construct the total-value equation used to find the number of each stamp purchased.

Postage Audit: Component Identification

In a corporate mailing scenario, if the number of 41-cent stamps required is 'four more than twice' the number of 2-cent stamps ($x$), the algebraic expression $4x + 2$ correctly represents the quantity of 41-cent stamps.
