Juan has 16 coins, all nickels and dimes. This collection of coins is worth $1. 15. How many nickels and dimes are there?

1 answer:

5 0

You would have 7 dimes and 9 nickels, this is because

5n +10d = 115 n + d = 16
n = 23 - 10d n = 16 - d

23 - 10d = 16 -d
7 = 9d
7/9 = d

Therefore there is 7 dimes and 9 nickels

Maria solved the equation. 4 (3 x minus 8) minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 32 minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 36 = 24. 12 x = 60. x = 5. What

Mrac [35]

Answer:

1. Distributive property.

2. Combining like terms.

3. Addition property of equality.

4. Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Distributive property states that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ab$

- The Addition property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a+c=b+c$

- The Subtraction property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a-c=b-c$

- The Multiplication property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

- The Division property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}$

Given the following equation:

$4(3x-8)-4=24$

We can identify that the methods Maria used to solve it and the order, are:

1. Distributive property:

$(4)(3x)-(4)(8)-4=24\\\\12x-32-4=24$

2. Combining (or adding) like terms:

$12x-36=24$

3. Addition property of equality, because she added 36 to both sides of the equation:

$12x-36+36=24+36\\\\12x=60$

4. Division property of equality, because she divided both sides of the equation by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5$

Stacy is selling tickets for the school play. She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets off

Ganezh [65]

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacy is selling tickets for the school play

She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets offered, child and adult tickets
She sold each child ticket for $6 , each adult ticket for $10 , and made a total of $1704

We need to find how many of each ticket she sold

Assume that x is the number of child tickets and y is the number of the adult tickets

∵ She has a total of 200 seats available

∵ She sold x child tickets

∵ She sold y adult tickets

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 200

∴ x + y = 200 ⇒ (1)

∵ She sold each child ticket for $6

∵ She sold each adult ticket for $10

∵ She made a total of $1704

- Multiply x by 6 and y by 10, then add the products and

equate them by 1704

∴ 6x + 10y = 1704 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equation to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -2000 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3) to find x

∴ -4x = -296

- Divide both sides by -4

∴ x = 74

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 74 + y = 200

- Subtract 74 from both sides

∴ y = 126

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets
