A woman has twice as many dimes as quarters in her purse. If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, she would have

Digiron [165]

If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.

5.3.4 Journal: Two-Variable Systems Elimination <br><br> I need urgent help

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

1) X stands for individual acts and y, group acts. 2) Each scenario describes a different period in minutes, but each one respecting their different amounts (individual and group acts). 3) $S=\left \{ 5,10 \right \}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing with what was found:

<em> 1) Here is a summary of the scenario your classmate presented for the talent show:Main show The main show will last two hours and will include twelve individual acts and six group acts.Final show The final show will last 30 minutes and will include the top four individual acts and the top group act.The equations he came up with are: 12x+ 6y= 120, 4x+ y= 30</em>

1. What do x and y represent in this situation?

X stands for individual acts and y, group acts.

Besides that, In the system of equation, they represent the time for x, and the time for y.

2. Do you agree that your classmate set up the equations correctly? Explain why or why not.

Yes, that's right. Each scenario describes a different period in minutes, but each one respecting their different amounts (individual and group acts). Either for 120 minutes or 30 minutes length. And their sum totalizing the whole period.

3. Solving the system by Elimination

$\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ 4x+ y= 30\end{matrix}\right.\\\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ 4x+ y= 30\:*(-3)\end{matrix}\right.\\\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ -12x+ -3y= -90\end{matrix}\right.\\3y=30\Rightarrow y=10\\4x+(10)=30\Rightarrow 4x=20\Rightarrow x=5\\S=\left \{ 5,10 \right \}$

The question in the picture below.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1 $\frac{6}{8}$ bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Amar is cooking pasta for 14 people we can multiple the 14 by the 1/8 because it is 1/8 per person. Therefore, we get 14/8 and that can be changed in 1 and 6/8. Thus, the answer comes out the be 1 (6/8) bags.
