Answer:

B. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this by setting up system of equations:

0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95

x + y = 20

x equals the number of quarters and y equals the number of dimes. 0.25 is the value of a quarter and 0.10 is the value of a dime.

1. Multiply one equation to have the same coefficient as the other

0.10 · (x + y = 20) = 0.10x + 0.10y = 2

2. Subtract to find the value of one variable

 0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95

<u>- 0.10x + 0.10y = 2</u>

0.15x = 1.95

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.15

x = 13

Stels [109]

Step-by-step explanation:

25(2x) + 25(3y)

25 · (2 · x) + 25 · (3 · y)

(25 · 2) · x + (25 · 3) · y                <em>Associative property </em><em>(a · b) · c = a · (b · c)</em>

(25 · 2)x + (25 · 3)y

(2 · 25)x + (3 · 25)y             <em>Commutative property</em><em> a · b = b · a</em>

<em>50x + 75y</em>

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

2x−3=x

Move all terms containing x

to the left side of the equation.

Subtract x

from both sides of the equation.

2x−3−x=0

Subtract x

from 2x

x−3=0

Add 3

to both sides of the equation.

x=3
