Answer:
It will cost Emily $40 to rent the bike for 6 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
SOLUTION:
Total cost equals = (cost per hour × number of hours) + initial bike cost.
Let, y be total cost and x = renting a bicycle for x hours.
y=5x+10
To calculate Emily's cost for 6 hours, let x=6.
y=5(6)+10
y=30+10
y=40
It will cost Emily $40 to rent the bike for 6 hours.
We assume the question is intended to say there are a total of 20 quarters, nickels, and dimes, the value of which is $2.05. The number of dimes is 3 times the number of quarters.
Let q, n, d represent the numbers of quarters, nickels, and dimes, respectively. Then you have three equations in the unknowns:
q +n +d = 20
25q +5n +10d = 205
-3q +d = 0
A calculator can give the solution to this matrix equation in short order. It is
q = 3
n = 8
d = 9
There are 3 quarters, 8 nickels, and 9 dimes.
_____
If you use the third equation to write an expression for d, you can substitute that into the other two equations.
q +n +3q = 20
25q +5n +10(3q) = 205
Simplifying, these are
4q +n = 20
11q +n = 41
Subtracting the first from the second, we find
7q = 21
q = 3
From there, it is easy to find d=9, n=8.
