Answer:

n + d = 30      ---------------------(1)

0.05n + 0.10d = 2.20 ----------(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Luis is saving money to purchase a new video game.

'n' be the number of nickels and 'd' is the number of dimes.

Statement (1)

He has total 30 coins consisting of nickels and dimes.

n + d = 30 ---------(1)

Statement (2)

The value of coins is $2.20.

∵ 1 nickel = $0.05

∴ n nickels = $0.05n

∵ 1 dime = $0.10

∴ d dimes = $0.10d

Now as per statement 0.05n + 0.10d = 2.20 ----------(2)

This is the system of two equations which can be used to determine the number of nickels and dimes Luis has.

What does a star mean after a number
Triss [41]
A star is written to show multiplication. It is a replacement for a dot or a x which is what you probably learned to be the "times" sign. In upper level maths, the "x" is replaced with a " * " to make it more legible and to avoid confusion with the variable "x".

Bingel [31]

Answer:  The average of the first two test scores is 97.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94 and the average of her last three test scores is 92.

We are to find the average score of her first two tests.

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 be teh scores of Kristle in first , second, third, fourth and fifth tests respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\dfrac{a1+a2+a3+a4+a5}{5}=94\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=94\times5\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

and

\dfrac{a3+a4+a5}{3}=92\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=92\times3\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)-(a3+a4+a5)=470-276\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2=194\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=\dfrac{194}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=97.

Thus, the average of the first two test scores is 97.

Find a number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite ?

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

It's opposite is '-x'.

A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

i.e. x - 12 = 3(-x)

Solving the equation,

x-12=-3x

x+3x=12

4x=12

x=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, the number is 3.
