-6 is greater than 5 is wrong
Remark
One of the things you need to do is learn to read phrase by phrase.
What is the quotient of a number and 7? That meas you have a number, x, and it is divided by 7. What you do that the answer you get is the quotient.
x/7 is what you know so for. Now the first part says you take 12 away from that.
x/7 - 12 is what you have after doing that.
The result you get is - 2
x/7 - 12 = - 2 Add 12 to both sides
x/7 - 12 + 12 = - 2 + 12
x/7 = 10 Now multiply by 7
x = 10 *7
x = 70 <<< Answer the number is 70
that would be 3 minutes and 45 seconds (:
No nickles = 2x and that of dimes = 7x so 2x = 350 get x and the no of dimes
so like 2x = 350 divide by 2 on both sides so x = 175 ... and no of dimes = 7*x = 7*175 = 1225
Hope it helps :)
