Let b=# of boys
Let g=# of girls
B+g=40
G=2b-5
Sub g into first equation and solve for b
B+2b-5=40
3b-5=40
3b=40+5
3b=45
B=45/3
B=15
Sub B into the second equation
G=2b-5
G=2(15)-5
G=30-5
G=25
Hope this helps!

Alexa's gross monthly pay is $3810.
pishuonlain [190]
I think there are a lot of things that you need to consider with this problem. First, before you can get the amount of money that Alexa saved by her retirement, you need to consider how long is she going to live and how her money is invested. And the most important is, how much income will she need in order to provide or maintain her current lifestyle.

Diane has $1.40 in dimes and nickels. She has a total of 16 coins. How many of each kind does she have?
Kazeer [188]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 4 nickels
  • 12 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 16-d is the number of nickels, and the total value is ...

  0.10d +0.05(16 -d) = 1.40

  0.05d + 0.80 = 1.40 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.05d = 0.60 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

  d = 12 . . . . . . . .dimes

  (16 -d) = 4 . . . . nickels

Diane has 12 dimes and 4 nickels.
