We will represent everything in cents
nickles are worth 5 cents and dimes are 10 cents
n=number of nickles
d=number of dimes
60 total coins
n+d=60
total is 430 cents
5n+10d=430
divide both sides by 5
n+2d=86
we gots
n+d=60 and
n+2d=86
eliminate
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-n-d=-60
<u>n+2d=86 +</u>
0n+1d=26
d=26
so
n+d=60
n+26=60
n=34
34 nickles and 26 dimes
20 minutes. On brads 4th run and Ty’s 5th run they will be at the beginning at the same time.
The answer is A
You have 2.50x because they make 4.50 for each one but it cost the $2 to get it so 4.50-2.00 =2.50
You subtract 2 because of ow much it costs to advertise the planners
In general: look for what the terms have in common. for example, take the binomial 2x² - 4x. you would be able to factor out a "2" because of the coefficients, and both terms have an "x" -- you can take that out too. that makes your GCF 2x. technically, what you're doing with factoring is dividing the terms by your GCF--2x² divided by 2x leaves you with x, and 4x divided by 2x leaves you with two. that's how you end up with (x - 2) in your binomial. your result looks like this: 2x(x - 2).
if you have any specific binomials you need help with, feel free to send me a message or comment on this and i'll see if i can help. if you're just asking in general, then just remember to look for what the terms have in common, then take it out.
1. Combine like terms, so add 2.4 to -4.8 to get -2.4
So now you should be left with .02(x+20)-2.4=-9
2. Now eliminate the -2.4 by adding 2.4 to both sides, getting .02(x+20)=-6.6
3. Multiply everything by 50 to make x+20=-333, since 50×.02=1
4. subtract 20 from both sides to get x=-353
