The secret number has a 7 in the ones place. The tens number is an odd number

Lana71 [14]

This really is left up to you as long as you have an odd number in the tens place and a 7 in the ones place. How big (or small) the number is is up to you. As long as it is at least 17, it's pretty much up to you.

Which equation can be used to solve the following word problem? Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, and the total value of his c

9966 [12]

Answer:

Seth has 21 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.

Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents. Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then

$5n+10(n-8)=235.$

Solve this equation:

$5n+10n-80=235,\\ \\15n=235+80,\\ \\15n=315,\\ \\n=21.$
