Answer:

52 dimes and 28 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number of nickels

d = number of dimes

n+d = 80   the number of coins he got

Multiply the number of nickels times .05 plus the number of dimes times .10 to equal the amount of money he got

.05n + .10d = 6.60

Divide this equation by .05

.05n/.05  + .10/.05 = 6.60/.05

n + 2d = 132

n+d = 80

Multiply by -1

-n-d=-80

Add this to n+2d = 132

n+2d=132

-n-d=-80

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

d = 52

Now we need to solve for n

n+d = 80

n+52 = 80

Subtract 52 from each side

n+52-52= 80-52

n = 28

Hi my lil bunny!

❧⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯☙

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x-3x+5=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x-3x+5=18\\2x + -3x + 5 = 18

( 2x + -3x ) + ( 5) = 18 (Combine Like Terms)

-x + 5 = 18\\-x + 5 = 18

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

-x + 5 - 5 = 18 - 5 \\-x = 13

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

\frac{-x}{-1} = \frac{13}{-1} \\x = -13

Answer : \boxed {x = -13}

What is the volume of the prism shaped containers
ss7ja [257]

Answer:Volume of a cube = side times side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side cubed. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the volume would be 4 inches times 4 inches times 4 inches, or 64 cubic inches. (Cubic inches can also be written in3.)
