When 9 is multiplied by a number less than eleven, add 1 to the tens place and subtract 1 from the ones place.
18=p+d+n, 3p=d, 2n=d
The lowest number that is divisible by 3&2 is 6 so, there is 6 nickels.
There is 6 nickels and there is half of that in dimes, 3 dimes.
There is three times the amount of pennies of dimes. 3*3=9. There is 9 pennies.
6 nickels + 3 dimes + 9 pennies= 18 coins
Answer is 9.
-3x^2 + 243 = 0
Bring 243 to the right.
-3x^2 = -243
Divide by -3.
x^2 = 243/3 = 81
Tak the square root of both sides.
x = 81^1/2 = 9.
Answer:
<em>The man paid $200 for the cow</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = price of the cow
y = price of the horse
The man bought the cow and the horse for $500, thus
x + y = 500 [1]
The cow was sold at a profit of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the cow= 1.1x
The horse was sold at a loss of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the horse= 0.9y
The total operation was a 2% loss, i.e. 0.98*500=490. Thus, we have:
1.1x + 0.9y = 490 [2]
From [1]:
y = 500 - x
Substituting in [2]:
1.1x + 0.9(500 - x) = 490
Operating:
1.1x + 450 - 0.9x = 490
0.2x = 490 - 450 = 40
x = 40/0.2
x = 200
The man paid $200 for the cow
The answer is -10.
20/-2=-10
