Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

Define Following:consistent equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

1. Consistent equations

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

4 = 2

7. One solution

3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Consistent equations

A consistent equation is one that has a solution, that is there exist a complete set of solution of the unknown values that resolves all the equations in the system.

x + y = 3

x + 2·y = 5

2. Dependent equations

A dependent system of equations consist of the equation of a line presented in two alternate forms, leading to the existence of an infinite number of solutions.

3·x + 2·y = 6

6·x + 4·y = 12

3. Equivalent equations

These are equations with the same roots or solution

e.g. 9·x - 12·y = 6

3·x - 4·y = 2

4. Inconsistent equations

Inconsistent equations are equations that are not solvable based on the provided set of values in the equations

e.g. x + 2 = 4 and x + 2 = 6

5. Independent equations

An independent equation is an equation within a system of equation, that is not derivable based on the other equations

y = -8·x + 4

8·x + 4·y = 0

6. No solution

No solution indicates that the solution is not in existence

Example,  4 = 2

7. One solution

This is an equation that has exactly one solution

Example 3·x + 5 = 11

x = 2

What is the solution to this system of equations?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations express y in terms of x we can equate the right sides

3x + 5 = - x + 3 ( add x to both sides )

4x + 5 = 3 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

4x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 0.5

substitute x = - 0.5 in either of the 2 equations

using y = - x + 3 then y = 0.5 + 3 = 3.5

solution is (- 0.5, 3.5 ) → c

Write a proportion you could use to convert 2.5 gallons to quarts.
marusya05 [52]
We know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so how many quarts in 2.5 gallons anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;quarts&gallons\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;4&1\\&#10;x&2.5&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{4}{x}=\cfrac{1}{2.5}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2.5}{1}=x
