D + q = 35....d = 35 - q
0.10d + 0.25q = 6.50

0.10(35 - q) + 0.25q = 6.50
3.50 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50
-0.10q + 0.25q = 6.50 - 3.50
0.15q = 3
q = 3 / 0.15
q = 20 <=== 20 quarters

d + q = 35
d + 20 = 35
d = 35 - 20
d = 15 <=== 15 dimes

D=dimes, q=quarters
First equation: d+q=35
Second equation: 0.1d+0.25q=6.50
d+q=35 can be changed into the equation q=-d+35
Then, plug the first equation into the second equation. This is the method of substitution.
0.1d+0.25(-d+35)=6.50
0.1d-0.25d+8.75=6.50
-0.15d+8.75=6.50
           -8.75  -8.75
-0.15d=-2.25
/-0.15  /-0.15
d=15
There are 15 dimes. You can check this answer by plugging in 15 as d in the first equation. Then you would get 20 quarters. These two numbers satisfy both equations.

What is standard form?
Katen [24]

Hey there! :)

When teachers ask you for the standard form in math, they are asking you to find the simplest form an equation with variables can be in.

Ax + By = C

Example : put y=2x -3 into standard form.

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-2x + y = -3 —> standard form.

Hope this helped! :)

Given: an=3+an−1 and a1=5<br><br> What is the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence?
Flura [38]

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence for the sequence is a(n) = 3n + 2.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have given:

\rm a_n=3+a_n_-_1 and

\rm a_1=5

\rm a_n-a_n_-_1= 3

The above expression represents the common ratio:

d = 3

First term:

a = 5

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence:

a(n) = 5 + (n - 1)3

a(n) = 3n + 2

Thus, the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence for the sequence is a(n) = 3n + 2.
