So, first lets define our variables:
let x = the number of dimes
let y = the number of nickels
so our first equation would be x+y = 16
Since dimes are 10 cents and nickels are 5 cents the next equation would be as follows:
.10x+.05y = 1.35
now change the first equation so y = -x+16
now substitute:
.10x+.05(-x+16) = 1.35
then multiply so you get .10x+-.05x+0.8=1.35
combine like terms and you get .05x+0.8 = 1.35
then subtract 0.8 from both sides and you get .05x = 0.55 then subtract
and you get x = 11 then substitute 11 for where x should be and you should get y = 5
So, you have 11 dimes and 5 nickels
If sandys friends ate 0, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, and 7 pretzels, the mean of the data would be 4. So yes sandy is correct.
Answer:
Answer will be 190.
Step-by-step explanation:
(9.5 x 10 ∧ 4) / (5 x 10 ∧ 2) = 190
line up your decimals and then multiply like usual, next count how many places after the decimal your problem(s) was and place it to your answer
The best way to answer this item is to use the Substitution method. Substitute the value of y from the first equation to the y of the second equation such that the second equation becomes,
-4x + 3(x - 4) = -3
Simplifying the equation,
-x = 9
Dividing both sides by -1 gives an answer of,
<em>x = -9</em>
Then, substitute the value of x in the first equation.
y = -9 - 4
<em> y = -13</em>
The answer to this item is letter B.
