Let's set up the equations we know.
Q+D=100, where Q=number of quarters, and D=number of dimes
.25Q + .1D = 21.40 (because a quarter is worth .25 and a dime worth .10)

Using the first equation, let's isolate one of our variables. I'll pick Q.
Q+D=100
Subtract D from each side
Q=100 - D

Now that we have this new equation, let's plug it into our second equation.
.25Q + .1D = 21.40
.25(100-D) + .1D = 21.40
Distribute the .25
25 - .25D + .1 D = 21.40
Combine like terms
25 - .15D = 21.40
Subtract 21.40 from each side
3.6 - .15D = 0
Add .15 D to each side
3.6 = .15D
Divide each side by .15
D = 24

Now that we have D, we can solve for Q
Q= 100 - D
= 100 - 24
Q = 76

Sue has 24 dimes and 76 quarters.

Let's check our work to make sure.
.25(76) + .1(24) = 
19 + 2.4 = 21.4 √

Dovator [93]
<span><span>1.       </span>We have the given number = 5 x 381
Let’s show how to multiply this given equation using its expanded form and place value
=> 5 x 381
since we’re multiplying, we will start with the ones value which is 1
=> 5 x 1 = 5
Second is on the tens value
=> 5 x 80 = 400
Third is the hundreds value
=> 5 x 300 = 1 500
Now, we already have the answer to each values. Add
=> 1 500 + 400 + 5
=> 1 905</span>

= {[2(4)(2.5)] + [2(2.5)(2)] + [2(2)(4)]} units²

= (20 + 10 + 16) units²

Find the values of x and y
Mkey [24]

Answer:

x = 78º

y = 35º

Step-by-step explanation:

These are isosceles triangles

two angles are congruent

-----------------------------

x + 51 + 51 = 180

x = 180 - 102

x = 78º

y + y + 110 = 180

2y = 70

y = 35º
