What are x and 8 in the linear equation? 8/x+5=50/25

Mark has 17 coins that are dimes and quarters. The total value of the coins is $2.45. How many dimes does mark have?

Answer: 12 dimes and 5 quarters

Step-by-step explanation: Let's start this problem by setting up a chart so we can organize our information that we're given in this problem.

Down the left side, we'll have our different types of coins. In this case dimes and quarters. Across the top we'll have our formula which is shown below.

Number of coins · value of each coin = total value

Now let's fill out our chart.

For number of dimes and quarters, we know that mark has a total of 17 dimes and quarters but we don't know how many of each he has. In fact, that's what the problem is asking.

So if we represent our number of dimes as x, we can call our number of quarters 17 - x.

The value of each dime is 10¢ and the value of each quarter is 25¢.

Our total value based on our formula is going to come from the first column times the second column. So the total value of our dimes is x times 10 or 10x and the total value of our quarters is 17 - x times 25 or 25 (17 - x).

Our goal in this problem will be to find x because x represents our number of dimes and the problem asks how many dimes does he have. If we know the number of dimes, we can easily find the number of dimes and we'll have our answer. However, we need an equation in order to find x.

It's important to understand that he information in this equation will always come from the last column of your chart, the total value column. So what do we know about the total value of our dimes and the total value of our quarters?

Well we know that the total value of all of our coins is $2.45. So if we add the total value of our dimes + the total value of our quarters, that should equal $2.45. So below the chart I added an additional box and I put 245 in it. Notice that I wrote 245 in terms of cents because our value of dimes and value of quarters is also written in terms of cents and we need to be constient.

So here's our equation.

10x + 25 (17 - x) = 245.

If we solve this, we get x = 12.

Going back up into our chart, remember that x represents our number of dimes so Mark has 12 dimes. To get his number of quarters, we take 17 - x which is 17 - 12 or 5 quarters and that's our answer.

I have also attached the chart that I have made below.

What are the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following true conditional? What are the truth values of each?

ser-zykov [4K]

In logic, the converse of a conditional statement is the result of reversing its two parts. For example, the statement P → Q, has the converse of Q → P.

For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the converse is 'if a figure is a parallelogram, then it is rectangle.'
As can be seen, the converse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the converse statement is false.

The inverse of a conditional statement is the result of negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement. For example, the inverse of P → Q is ~P → ~Q.
For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the inverse is 'if a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a parallelogram.'
As can be seen, the inverse statement is not true, hence the truth value of the inverse statement is false.

The contrapositive of a conditional statement is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of P → Q is ~Q → ~P. 
For the given statement, 'If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram.' the contrapositive is 'if a figure is not a parallelogram, then it is not a rectangle.'
As can be seen, the contrapositive statement is true, hence the truth value of the contrapositive statement is true.
