Answer:

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

z = number of quarters

Total worth of the coins = $41.45

Total number of coins = 361

x + y + z = 361 (1)

dime = $0.1,

nickel = $0.05

quarter = $0.25

0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)

twice as many dimes as quarters.

y = 2z

Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)

x + 2z + z = 361

0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361

0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45

x + 3z = 361 (3)

0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)

Multiply (4) by 20

x + 3z = 361 (3)

x + 9z = 829 (5)

Subtract (3) from (5)

9z - 3z = 829 - 361

6z = 468

Divide both sides by 6

z = 468 / 6

= 78

z= 78

Recall,

y = 2z

= 2(78)

= 156

y = 156

Substitute the value of y and z into

x + y + z = 361

x + 156 + 78 = 361

x + 234 = 361

x = 361 - 234

= 127

x= 127

x = number of nickels = 127

y = number of dimes = 156

z = number of quarters = 78

OLEGan [10]
Sam would have to get a 97 on his next test in order to maintain his average score at an 85. This is because if you add up 63, 84, 96, and 97 you get 340. When you divide 340 by the 4 test scores you get an average of exactly 85

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: -3 2/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3x + 5(3/5 - 3/5x) - 12 / 6 * 2

First distribute

-2/3x + 3 - 3x - 12 / 6 * 2

Now divide 12 by 6

-2/3x + 3 - 3x -2 * 2

Now multiply -2 by 2

-2/3x + 3 - 3x - 4

Now subtract 3x from -2/3x

-3 2/3x + 3 - 4

Now subtract 4 from 3

-3 2/3x - 1
