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.

A pet store sells mice reptiles and birds Let event A = a customer buys a mouse Let event B = A customer buys a reptile What doe
enyata [817]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question given in the attached picture:

Event A = a customer buys a mouse

Event B = A customer buys a bird

P(A or B) = 0.25

Now have a look at the probability P(A or B). Here or means either..Its means that the customer will purchase either a mouse or a bird. That means that there is 0.25 or 25% probability that the customer will purchase either a mouse or a bird. In this case there are only 3 choices, which are: the customer will either purchase a mouse, a bird or a reptile because the pet store has only these three possible outcomes. We are not told that how much of each animal they have. Thus the probability that the customer will either purchase either a mouse or a bird is  0.25 or 25%. That means that the probability of either purchasing a mouse or a bird is added together which is 0.25 or 25%

Thus the correct option is C....

Karrine hit 4 more home runs than half the number of home runs Lu hit. Together they hit 10 home runs. Let x represent the numbe
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The number of home runs that Lu hit is 4 and the number of home runs that Karrine hit is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represent the number of home runs Lu hit

y ---> represent the number of home runs Karrine hit

we know that

Together they hit 10 home runs

so

x+y=10 ----> equation A

Karrine hit 4 more home runs than half the number of home runs Lu hit

so

y=\frac{1}{2}x+4 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

x+\frac{1}{2}x+4=10

solve for x

\frac{3}{2}x=10-4

\frac{3}{2}x=6\\x=4

Find the value of y

y=\frac{1}{2}(4)+4=6

therefore

The number of home runs that Lu hit is 4 and the number of home runs that Karrine hit is 6
