Let d = number of dimes, q = number of quarters 

<span>Sally has 20 coins in her piggy bank, so </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>

<span>The total amount of money is $3.05. </span>
<span>Use the value of each coin multiplied by its number to get total value </span>
<span>.10d + .25q = 3.05 </span>
<span>multiply everything by 100 to clear the decimal places </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 and </span>
<span>d + q = 20 </span>

<span>solve the second equation above in terms of either d or q - lets do d </span>
<span>d = 20 - q </span>
<span>sub that into the first equation </span>
<span>10d + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>10(20 - q) + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>200 - 10q + 25q = 305 </span>
<span>15q = 105 </span>
<span>q = 105/15 = 7 </span>
<span>and from above </span>
<span>d = 20 - q = 20 - 7 = 13 </span>

<span>so, there are 13 dimes and 7 quarters </span>
<span>verify with orig problem </span>
<span>13 + 7 = 20, OK, and $1.30 + $1.75 = $3.05 
</span>

If (1/4)^(x+y) = 256 and log₄(x-y) = 3, what are the exact values of x and y
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

x = 30 and y = -34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following functions

(1/4)^(x+y) = 256... 1

log₄(x-y) = 3.... 2

From equation 2;

x-y = 4³

x-y = 64

x = 64 + y ... 3

Substitutw 3 into 1

From 1:

(1/4)^(x+y) = 256

(1/4)^(64+y+y) = 256

(1/4)^(64+2y) = 256

Take log₄ of both sides

64+2y log₄ (1/4) = log₄256

-(64+2y) = 4log₄4

-(64+2y) = 4

64+2y = -4

2y = -4 - 64

2y = -68

y = -34

Since

x = 64 + y .

x = 64 - 34

x = 30

Hence x = 30 and y = -34
