X= number of dimes
x+6= number of quarters
5(x+6)= number of nickels
$5.40= 540 cents

Add the number of each coin and set it equal to the total in cents.


x + (x + 6) + 5(x + 6)= $5.40
multiply 5 by parentheses; change dollar total to cents

x + (x + 6) + (5 * x) + (5 * 6)= 540

x + (x + 6) + 5x + 30= 540
combine like terms

7x + 36= 540
subtract 36 from both sides

7x= 504
divide both sides by 7

x= 72 dimes

x + 6= 78 quarters

5(x + 6)= 390 nickels


CHECK
72 + 78 + 390= 540
540= 540


ANSWER: There are 72 dimes, 78 quarters and 390 nickels.

Hope this helps! :)

Select all of the following that are quadratic equations.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1. x² + 3x - 5 = 0

2. x² - x = 3 x + 7

4. 7x² + 14x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A Quadratic equation takes the form;

ax² + bx + c = 0

a, b, c are constants and a cannot be 0.

Options 1 fits this;

x² + 3x - 5 = 0

Option 2 fits this as well;

x² - x = 3 x + 7  

x² -x - 3x - 7 = 0

x² - 4x - 7 = 0

Option 4 fits this as well if c = 0.

7x² + 14x + 0 = 0
