X= number of quarters (worth $0.25)
6x= number of dimes (worth $0.10)

Multiply value per quarter by number of quarters. Multiply value per dime by number of dimes multiplied by 6 (because there are 6 times as many). Add those two sets together to equal $12.75.


0.25x + 6(0.10x)= $12.75
multiply 6 by parentheses

0.25x + 0.60x= 12.75
combine like terms

0.85x= 12.75
divide both sides by 0.85

x= 15 quarters


DIMES
= 6x
= 6(15)
= 90 dimes


CHECK
0.25x + 6(0.10x)= $12.75
0.25(15) + (6)(0.10)(15)= 12.75
3.75 + 9.00= 12.75
12.75= 12.75


ANSWER: There are 15 quarters and 90 dimes.

Hope this helps! :)

Since the question is asking for the no. of coins each, we can represent the numbers with variables.

number of quarters = x
number of dimes = 6x (because there as 6 times as many dimes as quarters)

Next we can multiply the variables by the value of each coin.

25x + 6(10)x = 1275
25x + 60x = 1275
(make sure the expressione quals 1275, not 12.75. A dime is not 10 dollars, nor is a quarter 25 dollars).
85x = 1275
x = 15

Now that we have the value for x, plug it back in.
Andrea has 15 quarters and 90 dimes.

X= r-h/y<br> solve for h and r
malfutka [58]
X = r - h/y ; Solve for h & r

Let's first solve for h :)

Add h/y to both sides.

h/y + x = r

So, r = h/y + x 

Now, let's solve for h.

x = r-h/y

Subtract r from both sides.

-r + x = -h/y

Multiply both sides by y.

y(-r + x) = y(-h/y)

Simplify.

-ry + xy = -h

Divide both sides by -1.

ry - xy = h

So, h = ry - xy

~Hope I helped!~

How do you find the slope of a line perpendicular to a given line?
enyata [817]
You have a line:
y=mx+b  (slope-intercepted form)
m=slope of this line.

The slope of a line perpendicular to that given line will be: ´"m´"
m´=-1/m.

For example:
y=8x+3
m=8

The solpe fo a line perpendicular to "y=8x+3" is:
m`=-1/8
